Correct Answer: am I


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : A question tag is a short question used at the end of a statement. If a statement is positive, the question tag will be negative, and if the statement is negative, the question tag will be positive. Here, the statement is positive, so the question tag will be negative: "ain't I?" not "am I?" This structure maintains the polarity of the question tag with an affirmative statement.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "I am suitably dressed for the occasion, ain't I?"
