Correct Answer:

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

 

  • (A) They haven't come yet, have they?
    The tag should match the negative auxiliary "haven't" with the positive auxiliary "have they."
    → Tag is (III)

  • (B) I am quiet, aren't I?
    The tag for "I am" is an exception in English; it changes to "aren't I" rather than "amn't I."
    → Tag is (I)

  • (C) Let's go for a movie, shall we?
    When starting a sentence with "Let's," the tag is "shall we."
    → Tag is (IV)

  • (D) Somebody just called, haven't they?
    For indefinite pronouns like "somebody," the tag uses "they."
    → Tag is (II)
