which setence contains a double negative A- RON IS SELDOM LATE FOR A MEETING. B- YOU SHOULD HESITLATE BEFORE RAISING YOUR VOICE. C- THE COMEDAIN DIDN'T SAY NOTHING FUNNY D- THE CAKE CAN'T BAKE IN COLD OVEN HELP ME MEDAL

OpenStudy (conqueror):

First, may I ask you if you have any ideas on what the answer might be ?

OpenStudy (conqueror):

A double negative is sort of like this ....He wasn't going to not attend the meeting. There are 2 negatives in that sentence: wasn't and not And that is why it's called a sentence with a double negative, so do you have any ideas now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (conqueror):

A only includes one negative, 'seldom', so that is not the answer.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Any more ideas ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's not c

OpenStudy (conqueror):

How is it not C ?

OpenStudy (nobrainiachere):

I agree. I would like to know this too.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Is there a problem ? @iambatman

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Well ? @Freez Why did you cancel C ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fine c

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Do you know why ?

OpenStudy (nobrainiachere):

You sound like you know this is incorrect.

OpenStudy (nobrainiachere):

Even though it might not be. Don't be so sure of yourself.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

*sigh* It is C because C has double negatives in it. The 2 negatives are: didn't and nothing

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Do you understand ? @Freez

OpenStudy (nobrainiachere):

That is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, thx
