Which of the following sentences does not contain a double negative?

jason is scarcely never well.
jason ain’t scarcely well.
jason is scarcely well.
jason isn’t scarcely well

The correct answer is C. Jason is scarcely well.

Explanation:

In language, a double negative occurs when there are two words that represent a form of negation within one sentence. This includes words such as never, unnecessary, not, scarcely, cannot, have not, is not, etc. Additionally, this type of construction results in positive statements but are not recommended as they can be quite confusing. According to this, the sentence that does not contain a double negative is "Jason is scarcely well" because in this case there is only one word (rather than two) acting as a negative form which is "scarcely" that means "Jason is not well".
