| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Ravi seldom visits his village in Bihar, does he? | (II) does he | Seldom means almost never. It makes the sentence negative, so the tag is positive. “Visits” has no helping verb, so the tag uses “does”. |
| (B) There is a post office near the temple, isn’t there? | (IV) isn’t there | A sentence with There is keeps “there” in the tag. The sentence is positive, so the tag is negative. |
| (C) Everyone in the hostel watched the final, didn’t they? | (III) didn’t they | Everyone becomes “they” in the tag. “Watched” has no helping verb, so the tag uses “didn’t”. |
| (D) The twins can ride a cycle without help, can’t they? | (I) can’t they | The tag repeats the helping verb can. The sentence is positive, so the tag is negative. |
