Explanation:

To determine the correct usage of "negative", we analyze each sentence:

• "Dad's answer was negative..." : "Negative" here means a refusal (no), which is correct.
• "He gave a negative answer..." : Using "negative" to describe a refusal - type answer is correct.
• "His negative country..." : "Negative" can't describe a country; this is incorrect.
• "Negative the sun will..." : Incorrect grammar and usage (should be "Negatively" or different phrasing, and the meaning is wrong).
• "She is negative again..." : "Negative" doesn't fit the context of being sick/well; incorrect.

Answer:

A. Dad's answer was negative when I asked for a TV in my room.
B. He gave a negative answer to his friend's question.
