Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

The teacher assured: "You have completed your homework, ________ ?"

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (C) haven't you

वाक्य positive है और उसमें have completed प्रयोग हुआ है।
Positive statement → negative tag का नियम समान helping verb (सहायक क्रिया) के साथ लागू होता है: have → haven't you?
✓
The teacher assured: "You have completed your homework, haven't you?"
have you? positive है, इसलिए वह वाक्य की polarity को दोहराता है और सही tag नहीं है।
सरल अर्थ: शिक्षक ने भरोसा दिलाया: 'तुमने अपना होमवर्क पूरा कर लिया है, है ना?'
The statement is positive and uses have completed.
Positive statement → negative tag with the same helping verb: have → haven't you?
✓
The teacher assured: "You have completed your homework, haven't you?"
have you? is positive and so repeats the polarity.

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

A'had you' उचित प्रतीत हुआ, क्योंकि 'completed' past participle (भूत कृदंत) है। परंतु कथन में 'have' है, 'had' नहीं, और वह positive है, अतः tag "haven't you" है।'had you' looked right after 'completed', which is a past participle. But the statement has 'have', not 'had', and it is positive, so the tag is "haven't you".
B"hadn't you" negative है, जो positive कथन के अनुरूप है। परंतु कथन का helper 'have' (present) है, 'had' नहीं, अतः tag "haven't you" है।"hadn't you" is negative, which suits a positive statement. But the helper in the statement is 'have' (present), not 'had', so the tag is "haven't you".
D'have you' में 'have' दोहराया गया और 'you' लिया गया। परंतु कथन positive है, अतः positive tag असंगत है; tag negative होना चाहिए: "haven't you"।'have you' repeats 'have' and uses 'you'. But the statement is positive, so a positive tag clashes; the tag must be negative: "haven't you".
