Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.

Every Saturday, your mother prepares a pudding, isn't she

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (C) isn't she

मुख्य verb prepares Present Indefinite में है।
Tag मुख्य verb के आधार पर आता है, इसलिए prepares → doesn't she सही है। Isn't she के लिए वाक्य में is/am/are होना चाहिए।
✓
Every Saturday, your mother prepares a pudding, doesn't she?
Every Saturday समय बताने वाला adverb (क्रियाविशेषण) है और tag के निर्णय को प्रभावित नहीं करता।
सरल अर्थ: हर शनिवार तुम्हारी माँ पुडिंग बनाती है, है ना?
The main verb is prepares, in Present Indefinite.
The tag follows the main verb: prepares → doesn't she. Isn't she needs is/am/are in the sentence.
✓
Every Saturday, your mother prepares a pudding, doesn't she?
Every Saturday is an adverb of time and does not touch the tag.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'Every Saturday, your mother' कर्ता से पूर्व समयवाचक क्रियाविशेषण के कारण संदिग्ध प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु वह tag को प्रभावित नहीं करता; त्रुटि "isn't she" में है, जो "doesn't she" होना चाहिए।'Every Saturday, your mother' looked suspicious because of the adverb of time before the subject. But it does not touch the tag; the error is "isn't she", which should be "doesn't she".
B'prepares a pudding' संदिग्ध प्रतीत हुआ, क्योंकि verb को 'is preparing' आवश्यक लगा। परंतु आदत हेतु 'prepares' शुद्ध Present Indefinite है; त्रुटि tag "isn't she" में है।'prepares a pudding' looked doubtful as the verb may need 'is preparing'. But 'prepares' is a correct Present Indefinite for a habit; the error is the tag "isn't she".
Dवाक्य शीघ्र पढ़ने पर स्वाभाविक प्रतीत होता है, क्योंकि "isn't she" अत्यंत सामान्य tag है। परंतु कथन में 'prepares' है, 'is' नहीं, अतः tag "doesn't she" होना चाहिए।The sentence sounds natural when read fast, since "isn't she" is a very common tag. But the statement has 'prepares', not 'is', so the tag must be "doesn't she".
