Which part has a mistake?

AIt was Shakespeare

Band not no one else

Cwho wrote this play

Dat the beginning of the 16th century

Answer:

B. and not no one else

Read Explanation:

  • "The phrase 'and not no one else' contains a double negative ('not' and 'no one else'). ഒരേ ക്ലോസിൽ രണ്ട് നെഗറ്റീവ് വാക്കുകൾ ഒരുമിച്ച് ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നത് ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് വ്യാകരണത്തിൽ തെറ്റാണ് (double negative). ഇവിടെ 'not' ഒഴിവാക്കുകയോ 'anyone else' എന്ന് മാറ്റുകയോ ചെയ്യണം.

  • Correct sentence: 'It was Shakespeare, and no one else / not anyone else, who wrote this play at the beginning of the 16th century.'"
