Hello,
I have to rewrite the following sentences into the negative form without changing the meaning.
1. He is sometimes foolish. (affirmative)
A. He is not always foolish. (negative)
B. He is not always wise. (negative)
Which one is correct between #A and #B?
Thanks.

Re: negative form
Seems like a trick question to me. Wise is not a direct opposite of foolish. And not always is not a direct opposite of sometimes.
If I have to choose I would say A.
