Direction: Convert the affirmative sentence into a negative sentence:Q...
Answer:
To convert the affirmative sentence "Mili is prettier than Neha" into a negative sentence, we need to express the opposite meaning. The correct answer is option 'A': "Neha is not as pretty as Mili." Let's understand why this is the correct choice.
Explanation:
Comparative Sentences:
When comparing two people or things, we use comparative sentences. In this case, the comparative sentence is "Mili is prettier than Neha."
Negative Comparative Sentences:
To convert a comparative sentence into a negative sentence, we use the structure "not as + adjective + as." This structure is used to show that the second person or thing is not equal or better than the first person or thing.
Explanation of the Answer:
Now, let's analyze each option:
a) Neha is not as pretty as Mili. - This is the correct answer. It follows the structure "not as + adjective + as" and correctly expresses that Neha is not as pretty as Mili.
b) Mili is not as pretty as Neha. - This option reverses the comparison and states that Mili is not as pretty as Neha. It does not accurately convey the opposite meaning of the original sentence.
c) Neha is not as prettier as Mili. - This option is grammatically incorrect as it uses the comparative adjective "prettier" with the comparative structure "not as + adjective + as." The correct form is "not as pretty as."
d) Mili is not prettier than Neha. - This option eliminates the "as" from the structure "not as + adjective + as" and changes the meaning of the sentence. It states that Mili is not prettier than Neha, but does not imply that Neha is prettier than Mili.
Therefore, option 'A' is the correct choice as it correctly converts the affirmative sentence into a negative sentence by using the structure "not as + adjective + as."
