Unless you are not very careful, you will run into debt.
EnglishSentence Improvement
- Aare very
- Bwill be very
- Cmay be
- DNo improvement
Explanation
'Unless' already carries a negative sense, so 'not' creates a double negative. The fix is to drop 'not': 'Unless you are very careful'. Options B and C change the tense/modality pointlessly, and (D) keeps the double negative.
