Correct Answer: didn't he?


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The correct form of the tag question for a positive statement is "didn't he?" . The usage "isn't it?" is typically used with affirmative statements in the present tense. However, since the sentence is in the past tense, the appropriate tag question is " didn't he?". A question tag is a very short clause at the end of a statement that changes the statement into a question.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "He sang well, didn't he? "
