Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation: When the main clause is negative, the question tag should be positive, and vice versa. Also, the auxiliary verb used in the question tag should match the tense of the main clause. In this case, "He is not" is a negative statement, so the correct question tag should be, is he?

So, the correct sentence is: He is not what you would call an honest man, is he ?
