In case no improvement is needed, choose the option ‘No improvement’. You shall better start running if you want to catch the bus.  Correct Answer Had better

The sentence uses the form shall better, which is incorrect and needs improvement.

The sentence suggests that 'it would be better to start running' if you want to catch the bus.

This is only expressed by the modal auxiliary expression 'Had better'.

It is used to talk about actions that people 'should do'. It is a strong expression, i.e., it implies not doing it may result in some undesirable outcomes.

e.g. You had better study, if you wish to pass in your exam.

The only alternative that improves the sentence is Had better.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
