    How do you select the correct verb for this sentence? Aren't all of them correct?

      I think so too.

        I also think it is not a question to which you can know the answer when it takes the form "Non __ mai la guardia". I have reported this.

          How is this "our" guard when it does not say, "nostra guardia"?

            The possessive is understood, for example it works the same for "I brush my teeth" : Mi lavo i denti.

              Hey let's check. I put "Non abbassiamo mai la guardia." which was marked right. Anybody try any of the other alternatives? Were they accepted? I have reported the issue.

                Did not accept 'abbassi' :-(

                  Agree, all options are actually appropriate in this case.

                  What does the entire sentence mean in English? I had this as a comprehension exercise and DL doesn't show the translation.

                    "We never lower our guard" and also maybe "let's never lower our guard".
