- This sentence: the verb is "are learning" and the subject "some of you" is referred to by you, so the tag is aren't you?

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: hasn't he? — Incorrect. Both the helping verb (has instead of are) and the pronoun (he instead of you) are wrong.
Option 2: haven't you? — Incorrect. The pronoun is right, but the statement uses are, not have.
Option 3: hadn't they? — Incorrect. Had is a past helping verb, and the subject "some of you" is referred to by you, not they.
