Help with a question on sentence formation
Hi all,
I am doing an exercise on sentence formation/improvement wherein i am facing difficulty in understanding the usage of the word unless. The question is as follows:
Q:He won't hear you provided you shout. (replace the underlined text if required)
Options:
- unless
- in case
- as long as
- no improvement
My understanding of the above is that the sentence is negative (won't), option 1 which happens to be the correct answer as per the book would mean that the sentence becomes double negative.
Please help me understand how option 1 can be a correct answer.
