Choose the correct question tag.
She did not mention that to Peter, ________?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → did she
Question tag after a negative sentence:
A question tag uses the same helping verb as the sentence, then the pronoun. A negative sentence takes a positive tag. Here the helping verb is "did" and the sentence has "not". The subject "she" stays the same. So the tag is "did she".
Complete sentence: She did not mention that to Peter, did she?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: should she — Incorrect. The tag must use the helping verb of the sentence. That verb is "did", not "should". Example: We should leave now, shouldn't we?
Option 2: did not she — Incorrect. This is a negative tag. A negative sentence takes a positive tag. Example: She came late, didn't she?
Option 3: she did — Incorrect. In a tag, the helping verb comes first and the pronoun after it. "She did" is a statement, not a question. Example: Meena did not call you, did she?
