Question : Select the most appropriate alternative to replace the underlined segment in the given sentence.
They met yesterday, haven’t they?
Option 1: don’t they?
Option 2: isn’t it?
Option 3: didn’t they?
Option 4: did they?
Correct Answer: didn’t they?
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
The sentence is a statement followed by a question tag. In English, when the main clause is in the past tense, the tag question should also be in the past tense. So, "didn't they?" is the correct form.
A question tag is a very short clause at the end of a statement that changes the statement into a question. A question tag is formed by inverting the subject and verb of a statement.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "They met yesterday, didn't they? "
