Direction: Convert the given sentence into a negative interrogative sentence and choose the correct option:
"Honesty is the best policy".
- AIs honesty the best policy?
- BIs not honesty the best policy?
- CIs honesty not the best policy?
- DWhy is honesty the best policy?
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
To transform an assertive affirmative statement into an interrogative format while preserving its core assertion, it must be changed into a negative interrogative sentence. The standard contracted or inverted formal style places the negative particle directly with the verb at the beginning of the sentence, resulting in: "Is not honesty the best policy?"
