Question

Change the negative sentence into an affirmative sentence without changing the meaning:
Monica is not as strong a player as Steffi.

• A. Steffi is a stronger player than Monica.
• B. Monica is a stronger player than Steffi.
• C. Steffi is not a weaker player than Monica.
  
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Steffi is a stronger player than Monica.

A negative sentence has a negative word like 'no', 'not', 'never' along with the verb. Alternately, it has a negative noun like 'nobody' or 'nothing'. An affirmative sentence has no negative word in it.

Option A: This is an affirmative sentence and communicates the same meaning as the original sentence. Hence, this option is correct.

Option B: This is an affirmative sentence. However, its meaning is different from that of the original sentence. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option C: This is a negative sentence as it contains the word, 'not' in it.

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