No.
 
Check your spelling of 'dosen't'
 
Then which one is correct?
And why?

NOT A TEACHER / NOT A NATIVE SPEAKER

I would venture an opinion that your sentence b. is acceptable, though, "She works here no more" would perhaps be less awkward if not quite natural.

Both 'She works here no more' and 'She no more works here' sound strange to me.

I prefer:

She no longer works here.
She doesn't work here any longer.
She doesn't work here anymore.

I have also heard something like 'She don't work here no more,' but this is by no means standard English.

No, b is not acceptable. "She works here no more" is very unnatural in modern English.
 
In illiterate slang "she works here no more" can be natural as a subordinate clause in a sentence with a double negative.

"I don't think she works here no more".

But that is not the kind of English learners learn or should learn.

You need to put more effort into this. Our spitting the answers out is not going to help you learn or to create natural sentences of your own.


Try doing what Chicken Sandwich did instead.
