Except if we are not sure

Not until we are sure

No improvement required

Unless we are sure

- Original sentence: "Unless we are not sure of our goals, we cannot achieve them."

- The use of "not" with "unless" creates a double negative, confusing the intended meaning.

- Option 1: "Except if we are not sure"

- Adds clarity, but "except if" can sound awkward and does not fix the double negative issue.

- Option 2: "Not until we are sure"

- Changes the structure and meaning entirely. It implies the goals can be achieved only after certainty, altering the original intent.

- Option 3: "No improvement required"

- Incorrect because the double negative needs fixing for clarity.

- Option 4: "Unless we are sure"

- Corrects the sentence by removing the double negative, making the meaning clear.
