Answer 2

Answer:

b) prohibit.

Explanation:

• In formal English, the idiom Excuse me' is often preferred to ask for permission/interrupt/ have attention in the middle of some ongoing work.
• The expression can be considered a polite way in various contexts. For example, while interrupting or preventing someone from doing something or asking for an apology.
• Thus it is better to go with this expression because it catches attention, shows respect, recognises personal or shared spaces and makes a positive impression even in a negative situation.

• In the given dialogue, we can mark that someone is not allowed to play. Thus using “Excuse me alters the negative situation into a positive one.

Hence the dialogue— “Excuse me … you can’t play here” is intended to

b) prohibit. (politely)
