An compile error in VBA after requiring variable declaration

I have turned on the "require variable declare" option to force to declare the variable in the VBA setting. After recording a Macro, the following recorded Macro fails to run with an error message:

compile error: expected function or variable.

I have tried to turned off the "require variable declare" in tools->options, then the code runs successfully. How to run it when the option is on?

Option Explicit

Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'

'
    Range("A1:E4").Select
    selection.Copy
    Range("A16").Select
    activesheet.Paste
End Sub

VBA is case sensitive. selection.Copy should be Selection.Copy and activesheet.Paste should be ActiveSheet.Paste. Also, unless there is a need to select the cells, you can simplify your code to:

Range("A1:E4").Copy Range("A16")
