Answer 2

Answer:

• The negative sentence is The sun was not setting.

• We can also write : The sun was not rising. It means the sun was setting, it is not rising.

• Here 'using an Opposite word after a Negative word', the given sentence has turned into a negative sentence. 'Rise' is a opposite word of 'set'.

• 'Not' is a negative maker, so simply we can add 'not' after auxiliary verb and turn it into a negative sentence.
