Question : Select the most appropriate option to improve the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to improve it, select ‘No improvement’.
She is not ready for marriage, isn’t it?
Option 1: isn’t she
Option 2: is she
Option 3: is it
Option 4: No improvement
Correct Answer: is she
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation : Tag questions are used to confirm or seek agreement with a statement. In the case of a negative main clause in the present simple tense, the appropriate tag question is formed using the positive form of the auxiliary verb. Therefore, the correct tag question for the sentence "She is not ready for marriage" is "Is she?" The original sentence, "She is not ready for marriage, isn't it?" is incorrect, as "isn't it" is not the suitable tag question for a negative main clause in this context.
So, the correct sentence would be: She is not ready for marriage, is she?
