Question

Nothing can make them confess.(Begin with anything)

Answer 1

The sentence can be rewritten using the word 'anything' as:

Anything cannot make them confess.

• The statement in the question ' Nothing can make them confess' is a negative statement. The word 'nothing' imparts negative meaning to the sentence.
• As 'anything' is not a negative word, we will use the negative form of 'can' i.e 'cannot' to impart the same meaning to the sentence that we have rewritten.
