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

You have a lot of coconut trees in your village, [do you?]

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (B) don't you?

यहाँ have मुख्य क्रिया है (अर्थ own) और उसके बाद संज्ञा-पद है, इसलिए tag में do आएगा। कथन सकारात्मक है, इसलिए tag नकारात्मक होना चाहिए: don't you।
✓
You have a lot of coconut trees in your village, don't you?
Have is the main verb here (it means own), followed by a noun phrase, so the tag uses do. The statement is positive, so the tag must be negative: don't you.

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

A'have you?' में 'have' दोहराया गया। परंतु यहाँ 'have' का अर्थ 'own' है और यह main verb है, और tag negative भी होना चाहिए: "don't you?"।'have you?' repeats 'have'. But here 'have' means 'own' and is a main verb, and the tag must also be negative: "don't you?".
C'do you?' ठीक प्रतीत होता है, क्योंकि main verb 'have' के लिए 'do' और 'you' शुद्ध हैं। परंतु कथन positive है, अतः positive tag असंगत है; वह "don't you?" होना चाहिए।'do you?' seems fine because 'do' is right for main-verb 'have' and 'you' is right. But the statement is positive, so a positive tag clashes; it must be "don't you?".
D"don't they?" में सही helper और negative चिह्न है, और 'trees' बहुवचन है। परंतु कथन का कर्ता 'You' है, अतः pronoun 'you' है।"don't they?" has the right helper and a negative sign, and 'trees' is plural. But the subject of the statement is 'You', so the pronoun is 'you'.
