Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: didn't she
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
Explanation : In English, when forming tag questions, it's crucial to match the auxiliary verb in the tag question with the tense of the reporting verb. In the original sentence, the reporting verb is in the past tense, so the appropriate tag question should use the past auxiliary "didn't". Additionally, the tag question should maintain the negative form to match the negative construction in the reporting clause.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: She told you that she is quite afraid of dogs, didn't she?
