Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.I am very upset because the results of my biopsy were not positive for cancer.

What will be an ideal response?


Does not make sense. In this context, the word "positive" means "indicating the presence of." The fact that the results were not positive for cancer suggests that you don't have cancer. Perhaps there is an unusual explanation for why that would make you upset (e.g., masochism), but in general it does not make sense. (Explanations will vary.)
