Question 180

Choose the grammatically correct version of the sentence given below:

She did not barely have enough time to finish the assignment.

Solution

Option B is the correct answer.

The given sentence used a double negative phrase (did not barely),  which fails to convey the intended meaning. "Barely" implies a negative sense (almost not), so adding "did not" makes the sentence incorrect.

The correct structure would be: She barely had enough time to finish the assignment.

All the other options are either grammatically incorrect or poorly phrased.
