Question

Transform the below sentence without changing its meaning by using the conditional word-unless:
We can survive in this new city, only if we have some more money.

• A. We cannot survive in this new city unless we have some more money.
• B. We can survive in this new city unless we have some more money.
• C. We cannot survive in this new city if we do not have some more money.
• D. Unless we survive in this new city, we cannot have some more money.

Answer 1

The correct option is A We cannot survive in this new city unless we have some more money.

The word-'unless' is used in the place of "If ...not".

The given sentence can also be restated as - We cannot survive in this new city unless we have some more money. This is stated in option A. Hence, this is the correct answer.

Option B is incorrect as it means the opposite of the given sentence.

Option C is incorrect as the conditional word-'unless' is not used.

You may note that as per the original statement, surviving in the new city is dependent on having some more money. In option D, this is reversed and hence, the meaning conveyed is different. So, this option is incorrect.
