Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)
| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Hand me that screwdriver, will you? | (II) will you | A sentence that makes a request or gives an order, like “Hand me”, takes “will you”. |
| (B) Everybody enjoyed the puppet show at the mela, didn’t they? | (IV) didn’t they | Everybody becomes “they” in the tag. “Enjoyed” has no helping verb, so the tag uses “didn’t”. |
| (C) Nothing was missing from the bag, was it? | (III) was it | Nothing makes the sentence negative, so the tag is positive. “Nothing” becomes “it” in the tag. |
| (D) Tanvi has to catch the seven o’clock train, doesn’t she? | (I) doesn’t she | Has to works like a main verb, so the tag uses “does”. The sentence is positive, so the tag is negative. |
