Does this sentence contain a double negative? There aren’t any ripe bananas in this bunch. yes no

No, because a double negative would look like this. "There aren't none ripe bananas." Which, obviously, looks very weird.

Hope this helps! ☺♥

The correct answer would be B) No because there is only one negative in the sentence and that would be ''aren't'' since that means are not, so since that's only one, and not two, its not a double.
