Jerry was not more than four years old
Explanation: Only যুক্ত affirmative sentence কে negative করার নিয়ম-
• Only দিয়ে বয়স/ সংখ্যা ইত্যাদি নির্দেশ করলে, Negative করতে হলে Only এর পরিবর্তে Not more than বসে।
• Only দিয়ে ব্যক্তিকে নির্দেশ করলে, Negative করতে হলে Only এর পরিবর্তে None but বসে + বাকি অংশ।
• আর Only দিয়ে বস্তু বা ধারণাকে নির্দেশ করলে, Negative করতে হলে Only এর পরিবর্তে Nothing but বসে।
প্রশ্নে যেহেতু only দিয়ে ব্যক্তির বয়স কে নির্দেশ করছে তাই সঠিক Negative form হবে - Jerry was not more than four years old.
