Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the sentence.

Kavya invited all her friends, [isn't it?]

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (D) didn't she?

Invited Past Indefinite (सामान्य भूत काल) है, इसलिए सहायक did होगी। कथन सकारात्मक है, इसलिए tag नकारात्मक बनेगा। Kavya लड़की है, इसलिए सर्वनाम she आएगा, it नहीं।
✓
Kavya invited all her friends, didn't she?
Invited is Past Indefinite, so the helper is did. The statement is positive, so the tag is negative. Kavya is a girl, so the pronoun is she, not it.
✓
Kavya invited all her friends, didn't she?

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

A"don't she" में negative चिह्न शुद्ध है और 'it' हटा दिया गया। परंतु 'she' एकवचन है और 'invited' past है, अतः helper 'did' होना चाहिए: "didn't she"।"don't she" has the right negative sign and drops 'it'. But 'she' is singular and 'invited' is past, so the helper must be 'did': "didn't she".
B"isn't she" में 'it' को 'she' कर दिया गया। परंतु कथन में 'is' नहीं है; 'invited' में 'did' छिपा है, अतः tag "didn't she" है।"isn't she" corrects 'it' to 'she'. But the statement has no 'is'; 'invited' is Past Indefinite with a hidden 'did', so the tag is "didn't she".
C'did she' में सही helper और pronoun है। परंतु कथन positive है, अतः tag negative होना चाहिए: "didn't she"।'did she' has the right helper and pronoun. But the statement is positive, so the tag must be negative: "didn't she".
