Hi, look:
Charlie: Have you told Kev about moving out?
John: No, I haven't, and I'd rather that you....
John doens't want that Charlie will tell Kev about his sudden decision to leave the house.
1) don't (tell him)either
2) won't (tell him)either
3) don't (tell him), too
Which of the aforementioned choices should be replaced by the greyed dots? Is more than one possible answer?
Please elaborate! Thank you!
