Bonjour Pamela,

You are correct that "ne" explétif can be included in this expression. This option is already part of the correct answers. However, in the lesson on "Avant que + ne explétif + the subjunctive mood", we also mention that the "ne" explétif can be dropped in speech - which is the case here. 

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
