Option 1 : lest he should get

The correct answer is Lest he should get.

In the given sentence, the phrase 'lest he should not get' is incorrect.
The sentence means that Aaron was warned against using painkillers because he might get addicted to them.
'Lest' is a conjunction that means 'to avoid the risk of'.
- It includes the implication of 'not' within the conjunction itself and thus the 'not' in the sentence is redundant.
Hence, the 'lest he should not get' needs to be replaced with 'lest he should get'.

The correct sentence is: Aaron is warned against strong pain killers lest he should get addicted.
