Where to put 不 when responding in negative This question is related to the Verb + Result Complement discussed here, but I think it's different.

Here are my instructions*:

Change the following into interrogative sentences (a) with a potential complement and then give negative answers to them (b)

请把下列问句改成带可能补语的问句， 并用否定句回答：

(5) 你能拿来那本书吗？

So I feel comfortable with part (a), I think to make a potential complement it's all about 得.  Correct me if I'm wrong:

(5a) 你能拿得来那本书吗？

But I struggle with part (b). I know to give a negative Result Complement, we use Verb + 不 + Result Complement. However, the use of 能源动词　"能" is begging to be negated (maybe my instinct is wrong...).

Should I put 不 between 那_来?

(5b)  我能拿不来那本书。

...or 不 before 能:

(5b) 我不能拿得来那本书。 

This lesson is teaching me the former, but it feels awkward to leave a "positive" 能 in there... 

By the way, what kind of rude person says "No, I cannot bring the book"?! (Just kidding... kinda. Maybe this person is physically incapable of bringing the book?)

*I promise you're not helping me cheat, I study Chinese on my own :)
As far as I can tell, the question does not require you to leave the 能 in the sentence. Since the 能 is already implied by the 可能补语 structure, the most natural way to solve your problem would be to leave off the 能:

你拿得来那本书吗？
我拿不来那本书。


By the way, to me it sounds more natural to move the object to the start of the sentence:

那本书你拿得来吗？
那本书我拿不来。


... but it's grammatically correct either way.
