Answer 2

Answer:

Tom did not groan softly.

Explanation:

‘Tom groaned loudly’ is a positive sentence. To change it to negative the word ‘not’ can be added- ‘Tom did not groan loudly’. But in this negative sentence the meaning changes. To change it into negative without changing the meaning we thus have to use the opposite of the word ‘loudly’ which is ‘softly’ and then add the negative word ‘not’.

A negative plus the opposite word denotes the actual word in its original sense and hence does not change the meaning of the sentence.
