  • Question 2/15
    1 / -0.25

    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "Close the door, __________?"?

    Solutions
    We often use question tags when we expect the listener to agree with our statement. In this case, when the statement is positive, we use a negative question tag and vice-versa. If there is an auxiliary verb in the statement, we use it to form the question tag. Here, we do not have any auxiliary verb and the sentence is an imperative one. A tag after an imperative clause softens the imperative a little. The tag verb is most commonly 'will' but we can also use would, could, can, and won’t. The pronoun used in the question tag is 'you' (in imperative sentences). 
    Hence, option B is the correct answer.
  • Question 3/15
    1 / -0.25
    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "Listen what I say, _____?"?
    Solutions

    If the sentence is affirmative the question tag will be negative and vice-versa. Also, a question tag is formed with the auxiliary verb and not the finite one.

    Here, it is an imperative sentence giving an order. The assertive form of the sentence is “You will listen what I say”. The appropriate auxiliary verb is ‘will’. Thus “won’t you” is the correct tag question to use here as ‘won’t’ means “will not”.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

  • Question 4/15
    1 / -0.25
    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "Nothing came in the post,  _________?"?
    Solutions

    We often use question tags when we expect the listener to agree with our statement. In this case, when the statement is positive, we use a negative question tag and vice-versa. If there is an auxiliary verb in the statement, we use it to form the question tag. Here, we do not have any auxiliary verb. If there is no auxiliary or modal verb in the main clause, we use the auxiliary do, does, did in the tag. The sentence is in the simple past tense. Thus, we will use 'did' in the question tag. 
    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

  • Question 5/15
    1 / -0.25
    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "Everything has been taken care, _______?"?
    Solutions
    If the sentence is affirmative the question tag will be negative and vice-versa. Also, a question tag is formed with the auxiliary verb (if there is one in the sentence). Here, the auxiliary verb is "has". The pronoun used for 'everything' is 'it'. Therefore, the question tag for this will be 'hasn't it'.
    Hence, option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 6/15
    1 / -0.25
    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "They will be leaving soon, ______?"
    Solutions
    If the sentence is affirmative the question tag will be negative and vice-versa. Also, a question tag is formed with the auxiliary verb (if there is one in the sentence). Here, the auxiliary verb is "will". Therefore, the question tag for the given question will be 'won't they'.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    ...view full instructions

    We have issued a order seeking immediate printing of revised price tag.

    Solutions

    The article ‘an’ should be used before singular, countable nouns which begin with vowel sounds. In the given sentence, ‘order’ is preceded by ‘a’ which is erroneous.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

  • Question 9/15
    1 / -0.25
    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "We were waiting at the station, __________?"
    Solutions
    When a question tag is used in a sentence, it follows the 'inversion of the verb' rule. It means that the verb is kept before the subject. Also, if the sentence is affirmative, the question tag must be negative and vice versa.

    Now, the given sentence is of simple past affirmative tense. So, the question tag will be of the negative form (in the past tense). We will use the auxiliary verb of the main sentence part as the verb of the question tag. 

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 10/15
    1 / -0.25
    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "You do not need to worry, ______"?
    Solutions
    When a question tag is used in a sentence, it follows the rule of inversion (means that the verb is kept before the subject). Also, if the sentence is affirmative, the question tag must be negative and vice versa. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
  • Question 11/15

  • Question 12/15
    1 / -0.25
    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "Your dad hadn't met him before, ___________?"?
    Solutions
    When a question tag is used in a sentence, it follows the rule of inversion. It means that the verb is kept before the subject. Also, if the sentence is affirmative, the question tag must be negative and vice versa. So, according to this rule, the correct filler is "had he". Hence, option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 13/15
    1 / -0.25
    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "Ranjini can't make it today, ______?"?
    Solutions
    If the sentence is affirmative the question tag will be negative and vice-versa. Also, a question tag is formed with the auxiliary verb (if there is one in the sentence). Here, the auxiliary verb is "Can't". The pronoun for "Ranjini" will be 'she'. Therefore, the question tag for the given question will be 'can she'.
    Hence, option D is the correct answer.
  • Question 14/15
    1 / -0.25

    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "You don't know where my wallet is, __________?"?

    Solutions
    We often use question tags when we expect the listener to agree with our statement. In this case, when the statement is positive, we use a negative question tag and vice-versa. If there is an auxiliary verb in the statement, we use it to form the question tag. Here, the auxiliary is 'do' (and negative). Thus, we will use 'do you' (a positive question tag) in the blank. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 15/15
    1 / -0.25
    Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, "Somebody was knocking on the door, ____________?"
    Solutions

    We use the pronoun 'they' in the question tag for the indefinite pronouns like 'somebody', 'everybody', 'nobody', etc. 

    Therefore, 'they' should be used in the blank. 

    Also, since 'they' is a plural pronoun, we will use weren't. 

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.
