Question

Change from an Assertive sentence to an Interrogative sentence : 
One cannot gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles.

Accepted Answer

Option 1 is the correct answer because it successfully transforms the assertive sentence "One cannot gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles" into an interrogative sentence while maintaining the original meaning. It achieves this by inverting the auxiliary verb "can" with the subject "one," thus forming a question. The resulting sentence, "Can one gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?" directly questions the possibility of the action described in the original assertive sentence.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

*   **Option 2: You cannot gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?** This option simply adds a question mark to the end of a statement that is very similar to the original assertive sentence. It doesn't change the structure to make it a proper interrogative sentence. It's more of a rhetorical question posed as a statement.

*   **Option 3: No one can gather grapes or figs from thorns?** This option changes the meaning of the original sentence. The original sentence states that one cannot gather grapes *from thorns or figs from thistles*. This option implies that one cannot gather grapes *or figs from thorns*. It also omits the reference to thistles. Therefore, it's not a valid transformation.

*   **Option 4: Could you gather grapes from thorns and thistles?** This option changes both the meaning and the tense of the original sentence. It uses "could" instead of "can," implying a past ability or possibility. It also changes "or" to "and," implying that both thorns and thistles are required for the action. Furthermore, it addresses "you" specifically, whereas the original sentence was a general statement about "one."
