Answer:

Yes, the double negatives may be can't and isn't.

Step-by-step explanation:

Double Negative meaning:

  • a negative statement containing two negative elements (for example he didn't say nothing ).

The negative elements are isn't and can't.

Can not

Is not

Not is a negative word, so this sentence does have a double negative.
