आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought"No substitution" में "isn't it?" रखा गया, क्योंकि वाक्य सहज पढ़ा जाता है; किंतु 'seldom' कथन को negative बनाता है, अतः tag positive होना चाहिए, 'does she?'।"No substitution" kept "isn't it?" because the sentence reads smoothly; but 'seldom' makes the statement negative, so the tag must be positive, 'does she?'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought"is she?" में positive sign और 'she' सही लिए गए; किंतु 'waters' Present Indefinite है, अतः helper 'does' है, 'is' नहीं।"is she?" got the positive sign and 'she'; but 'waters' is Present Indefinite, so the helper is 'does', not 'is'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought"doesn't it?" में helper सही है; किंतु 'seldom' को positive मान लिया गया, और 'Swetha' लड़की है, अतः tag positive होगा और 'she' लेगा।"doesn't it?" has the right helper; but it takes 'seldom' as positive, and 'Swetha' is a girl, so the tag is positive and uses 'she'.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) does she?
Seldom नकारात्मक शब्द है, इसलिए कथन नकारात्मक है और tag सकारात्मक होना चाहिए। Waters Present Indefinite है, कर्ता एकवचन है और Swetha लड़की है: does she।
✓
Swetha seldom waters the plants, does she?
Seldom is a negative word, so the statement is negative and the tag must be positive. Waters is Present Indefinite with a singular subject, and Swetha is a girl: does she.
