Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
"Isn't it?" is incorrect. Instead, we should use "doesn't it?" to form a question tag that matches the affirmative sentence. In a question tag, the reverse of the auxiliary verb is followed by the pronoun. In this case, the main clause is in the present tense, and the auxiliary verb for the present tense in this context is "does".
The correct sentence is, "The Earth moves around the Sun, doesn't it? "
