Question

Change the given sentence to negative, without changing the meaning:
I have always had success in all my efforts.

• A. All my efforts have been successful.
  
• B. I have sometimes had failure in some of my efforts.
• C. I have never had failure in any of my efforts.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

I have never had failure in any of my efforts.

A negative sentence has a negative word like 'no', 'not', 'never' or 'without' before the verb. Alternately, it has a negative noun like 'nobody' or 'nothing'.

Options A and B are incorrect because they have no negative word in them and hence they are both affirmative sentences (not negative sentences).

Option C: This is a negative sentence because it has the word 'never' in it. The meaning of this sentence is the same as the original sentence. Hence, this option is correct.

Option D is incorrect as option A is the correct answer.
