Choose the sentence that uses the correct question tag:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Don’t throw plastic bags into the river, will you?
Question tag after “Don’t”:
A sentence that begins with “Don’t” tells someone not to do something. It is a negative order, and it takes the tag “will you”.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: Arun slept through the thunderstorm, wasn’t he? — Incorrect. The given sentence says “slept”. It is in the simple past with no helping verb. So the tag must use “did”, not “was”.
Corrected: Arun slept through the thunderstorm, didn’t he?
Option 3: Priya doesn’t eat onions, doesn’t she? — Incorrect. The sentence has “doesn’t”, so it is negative. A negative sentence takes a positive tag.
Corrected: Priya doesn’t eat onions, does she?
Option 4: The bus drivers are on strike today, aren’t we? — Incorrect. The tag uses the pronoun for the subject. “The bus drivers” becomes “they”, not “we”.
Corrected: The bus drivers are on strike today, aren’t they?
