Choose the sentence that uses the correct question tag:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → I’m not in the relay team this year, am I?
Question tag after “I’m not”:
“I’m not” means “I am not”. The sentence is negative, so the tag is positive. With “I am”, the positive tag is “am I”.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Raghav can drive a tractor, doesn’t he? — Incorrect. The helping verb in the sentence is “can”. The tag must repeat “can”, not use “does”.
Corrected: Raghav can drive a tractor, can’t he?
Option 2: Kiran and I are in the same section, aren’t they? — Incorrect. The tag uses the pronoun for the subject. “Kiran and I” includes the speaker, so the pronoun is “we”.
Corrected: Kiran and I are in the same section, aren’t we?
Option 3: My cousins couldn’t find the hotel in Ooty, couldn’t they? — Incorrect. The sentence has “couldn’t”, so it is negative. A negative sentence takes a positive tag.
Corrected: My cousins couldn’t find the hotel in Ooty, could they?
