HI Welcome to Openstudy! @SpetsnazDino41 & @Avvery159:)

@SpetsnazDino41 if you want to know why,
let's analyze each choices one by one, shall we?

Choice A: Please don't never startle me like that again.

This is the same as "Please DO NOT NEVER" -> sounds wrong, it uses two negatives so this is not the right answer.

Choice B: Alexis can't wait for her grandmother to visit tonight.

"Alexis CAN NOT wait " -> only one negative in the sentence, sounds right ^_^

Choice C: We don't have no more orange juice, Mom.

"We DO NOT have NO more" ->sounds wrong, it uses two negatives so this is not the right answer.

Choice D: There's never nothing fun to do around here.

"There's NEVER NOTHING" -> double negative, so this one is also wrong ^_^
