关于THINK否定的问题

阅读理解有一题提及到：将“（C）The boy thought that there was no man to come."用not改写。
如按照think的否定转移用法即在think前加not即可。
可答案是这么写的：The boy thought that there wasn't any man to come.
答案对吗？有这种用法吗？是什么用法？

Answer 1

小朋友，是这样的。当主语是第一人称（如 I ）时，就否定前移，当主语是第二、第三人称的时候，就在从句中否定，不用前移。
例：I think the cake is delicious. 变否：I don't think the cake is delicious.
The boy thought she would come this night. 变否：The boy thought she wouldn't come this night.

Answer 2

是不是也可以这样写，The boy didn't think that there was any men to come.
