Question:

Add a suitable Question Tag to the following sentence by choosing the correct option:

He did not paint that beautiful picture, _____?

Options:

did he

had he

does he

didn't he

Correct Answer:

did he

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → did he.

The suitable question tag to add to the sentence "He did not paint that beautiful picture, _____?" is: did he

- The original statement is in the negative form: "He did not paint that beautiful picture."
- When forming a question tag, we typically use the auxiliary verb from the statement in its positive form if the statement is negative.
- "Did" is the auxiliary verb used in the past tense to form questions in English.
- Therefore, the correct question tag to use here is "did he," which is the positive form corresponding to the negative statement "did not."
