Grammar: Question Tags

Question:

Choose the most suitable question tag for the following sentence-

I am not expected to serve them; ____?

Options:

am I?

can I?

shouldn't I?

doesn't I?

Correct Answer:

am I?

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → am I?

The tag "am I?" is appropriate because it reflects the auxiliary verb "am" from the main clause in the negative form ("not expected"), and in question tags, we typically use the auxiliary verb that matches the tense and negation of the main clause.

So, the complete sentence would be: "I am not expected to serve them; am I?" This tag seeks confirmation or agreement from the listener regarding the statement made in the main clause.
