Question:

Select the appropriate question tag for the given sentence:

It looks perfect here.

Options:

is it?

isn't it?

does it?

doesn't it?

Correct Answer:

doesn't it?

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - doesn't it?

  1. Verb and Tense:
    The sentence "It looks perfect here" is in the simple present tense with the main verb "looks."

  2. Forming the Tag:
    Since there's no auxiliary verb present, we use "does" as the auxiliary in the tag question.

  3. Negative Form for an Affirmative Statement:
    For an affirmative sentence, the tag should be negative. Hence, "does" becomes "doesn't."

  4. Subject Agreement:
    The subject "it" is repeated in the tag.

Thus, the full sentence becomes: "It looks perfect here, doesn't it?"
