i hope this helps you

Answer 2

Explanation:

The Hermit was silent.

The meaning should not change so just make opposite and that is the right way to change the sentence into affirmative. In an affirmative sentence, there should be no 'no-type' or negative usage of the sentence which is the case with the negative sentence like he 'did not' reply. in the answer if we say that the hermit was silent then that means that it is affirmative and it does not contain any negative things.
