Read each pattern and its example, then write your own sentence on the line.
〜か否か 普通形 + か否か（N・na-adj は語幹に直接つく）
Formal written equivalent of 〜かどうか, "whether or not." Found in reports, legal texts and news writing; too stiff for casual conversation.

〜ないものか V-ない + ものか／ものだろうか（可能形が多い：〜られないものか）

〜でしかない N + でしかない（na-adj は語幹 + でしかない）

〜以外の何ものでもない N + 以外の何ものでもない
