Explanation:

In grammar, a double negative is a common mistake that occurs when two forms of negation are placed in the same sentence, which creates a confusing meaning and mistakes in the construction of the sentence. In the case of the sentence presented "Nobody's never given me a bad report" the double negative occurs as the words "Nobody" and "never" represent forms of negation, which leads to a confusing sentence as the reader cannot understand if the person has received a bad report or not. Additionally to this, for correcting this type of mistake it is necessary to omit one of the forms of negation and change other elements in the sentence if necessary to keep the original meaning.

In this case the sentence "Nobody's never given me a bad report" means the person has never received a bad report and therefore the sentence that corrects the double negative is "I've never been given a bad report" considering this sentence has omitted one of the two words that were negative, but also keep the original meaning which corrects appropriately the double negative of the first sentence.

A. I've never been given a bad report
