Grammar: Question Tags

Question:

Out of the four alternatives, choose the one that suits the best as a question tag for the sentence:

She rarely attends the class, _______ ?

Options:

Does she

Isn't it

Is it

Doesn't she

Correct Answer:

Does she

Explanation:

In English, a question tag is a short question added to the end of a statement. It's used to invite agreement, confirmation, or a response from the listener. The choice of question tag depends on the statement.

In this case, the statement is "She rarely attends the class." The auxiliary verb in the statement is "attends," and it is positive. When the main clause is positive, the question tag is often negative.

The correct question tag to use is "does she." It maintains the tense of the main clause and provides a negative contrast. So, the complete sentence with the question tag is "She rarely attends the class, does she?"
