Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The sentence 'Peter did not speak to no one in the room' contains a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect in standard English. The word 'not' is a negative, and 'no one' is also a negative. To correct the sentence, the second negative should be replaced with a positive word, in this case, 'anyone'.
