In grammar also there is a rule very similar to maths:

where negative X positive = negative
and
negative X negative = positive

therefore, same in grammar

The overall sentence is negative meaning that the 'I have nothing or I don't have anything.'

So I hope by now you must have known the logic...
IT IS TIME TO BEAT THE GMAT

LEARNING, APPLICATION AND TIMING IS THE FACT OF GMAT AND LIFE AS WELL... KEEP PLAYING!!!

Whenever you feel that my post really helped you to learn something new, please press on the 'THANK' button.
