Question:

Add a suitable question tag to the following sentence from the options given below:

Mohit lives in the city.

Options:

Did he?

Does he?

Will he?

Doesn't he?

Correct Answer:

Doesn't he?

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - Doesn't he?

The sentence "Mohit lives in the city." is a positive statement, so the question tag should be negative. The subject of the sentence is "Mohit," which is a singular noun, so we use "does" for the question tag.

Thus, the correct question tag is:

  • "Mohit lives in the city, doesn't he?"
  1. "Did he?"

    • This uses the past tense, which is incorrect because the original sentence is in the present tense.
  2. "Does he?"

    • This is a positive tag and does not match the negative requirement of the question tag.
  3. "Will he?"

    • This also uses the future tense, which is inappropriate in this context.
