Complete the following sentence by using a question tag:

I am older to you ________.

Options:

aren't you?

aren't we?

aren't I?

can't I?

Correct Answer:

aren't I?

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - aren't I?

Complete sentence: "I am older than you, aren't I?"

Explanation:

  • A question tag is used to confirm or check information.
  • Since the main clause is positive ("I am older"), the question tag should be negative.
  • "Aren't I?" is the appropriate question tag to use with the statement.

Incorrect options:

  • "Aren't you?" would address the listener, not the speaker.
  • "Aren't we?" is incorrect as it refers to a group, not an individual comparison.
  • "Can't I?" does not fit the context.
