There are two sentences that do not use “double negative” structures.
“We have been to no ball games in over a month.”
In this example, the verb is in the positive form and the negative meaning is given by the word “no”.
“We haven't been to any ball games in over a month.”
In this example, the auxiliary verb is negated and it follows the correct structure for present perfect verb tense.
Double negatives are not commonly used in written English since they may cause confusion when reading them. It might be used in spoken English as well as literary works (songs and poems).
Answer:
O The extreme cold is more than the man can endure.
Explanation:
Jack London's "To Build A Fire" revolves around the story of a man stuck in a blizzard and his eventual death. The stubborn nature of the man added to his fate, for he overturned the opinions of the old man not to venture in the cold Yukon mountains at that time. And his impulsive nature of moving ahead with his plan so that he will reunite with his friends at the camp led to the fateful journey along the cold freezing mountains.
The setting of the trial, the cold freezing atmosphere became an obstacle for him in his need to reach his destination. He knows for sure that he will <em>"freeze anyway"</em>, for he knows <em>"he had been making a fool of himself, running around like a chicken with its head cut off."</em> And it was this conflict that emerges from the setting that forces the man to accept his fate. He found a new peace of mind, and decided <em>"to sleep off to death"</em>.
Thus, the <u>correct answer is that the extreme cold is too extreme for a man to endure, more than one can endure.</u>

He intends to reflect the damaging impacts (through repetition) of such attacks and imply that these were duplicitous and fraudulent attempts. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
