- 'Jason is scarcely well'
- 'Jason ain't scarcely well'
- 'Jason is scarcely never well'
- 'Jason isn't scarcely well'
The negatives are :
scarcely (the opposite of commonly or usually)
ain't (slang for is not)
never (the opposite of always)
isn't (short for is not)
From this you can see that (1) is the only phrase that does not contain two negatives.
Turned round the phrases could be translated as:
- 'Jason is usually ill'
- 'Jason is healthy'
- 'Jason is almost always healthy'
- 'Jason is healthy'
