Question

I found nobody except a few mountaineers. (make it affirmative)​

Answer 1

I found only a few mountaineers.

• When a given negative sentence is changed to affirmative, it conveys the same idea but the form of expressing gets transformed.
• The words like nobody, never, none, nothing etc are removed when converting a negative sentence to positive.
• In the given case, 'only' will be added in place of 'nobody except.'
