On the opposite side of the street was a restaurant of no great pretensions. [ Make it affirmative sentence]

Answer:
ANSWER
A negative sentence is the opposite of an affirmative (positive) sentence and is formed by adding a negative word like 'no', 'not', 'never' etc to the main verb.
Option A: This is a negative sentence as it contains the word, 'not'. The words, 'sometimes foolish' can be replaced by 'not always wise". Hence, the sentence, 'My friend is sometimes foolish' means the same as 'My friend is not always wise'. Option A is correct.
Option B: This is an affirmative sentence as it has no negative word. It also communicates a meaning, which is different from the original sentence. Hence, this is incorrect.
Option C: This is a negative sentence as it contains the word, 'not'. However, it communicates a meaning, which is opposite to the meaning of the original sentence. Hence, this is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect as option A is the correct answer.

1. An affirmative word or an affirmative phrase, or an affirmative sentence can identify the authority or fact of a general assertion, whereas a negative formation identifies its falsity. The sentence, "Kloe is here" would be said as an affirmative sentence, while "Kloe is not here" would be said as a negative sentence.
2. The word "affirmative" is also known as an adjective. It explains something. Affirmative can be expressed as affirming something or asserting the fact, asserting the validity, or asserting a fact of something.
3. For example-
# I like to draw portraits.
# She visits the library every Sunday.
