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

conqueror · Answer

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 ?

anonymous · Answer

A

conqueror · Answer

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

conqueror · Answer

Any more ideas ?

anonymous · Answer

it's not c

conqueror · Answer

How is it not C ?

nobrainiachere · Answer

I agree. I would like to know this too.

conqueror · Answer

Is there a problem ? @iambatman

conqueror · Answer

Well ? @Freez 

Why did you cancel C ?

anonymous · Answer

fine c

conqueror · Answer

Do you know why ?

nobrainiachere · Answer

You sound like you know this is incorrect.

nobrainiachere · Answer

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

conqueror · Answer

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

conqueror · Answer

Do you understand ? @Freez

nobrainiachere · Answer

That is correct.
