Hi. Thank you.

How about "believe" as in the following?

A) I strongly believe that Japan was wrong at that time.
B) I strongly believe that Japan wasn't right at that time.
C) I don't strongly believe that Japan was right at that time.
D) I don't believe at all that Japan was right at that time.
Which of B) or C) is the equivalent expression of A) ?
Thank you, susan53, for your detailed explanation.
I think I got it.
I agree that "strongly" is the problem.
So I create a new sentence D).
How about D) as the synonym of A)?

From your lesson, I think D) is better than B) as the synonym of A).
