Correct Answer: isn't she


Solution : The error lies in the first option .

The given sentence is in simple present tense. If the statement is positive, the question tag will be negative, and if the statement is negative, the question tag will be positive. A comma has to be put before the question tag. The given sentence is in the simple present tense, and the helping verbs in the question tag are used according to the tense and the subject. "Isn't she?" should be replaced by "doesn't she?"

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Every Saturday, your mother prepares a pudding, doesn't she ?
