Identify the segment in the sentence which contains an error. If there is no error, select 'No error'.

Your mother / prepares delicious food, / did she?

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (C) did she?

Prepares Present Indefinite है, इसलिए सहायक does होनी चाहिए, पर tag में भूतकाल की सहायक did लगी है। कथन सकारात्मक है, इसलिए tag नकारात्मक भी होना चाहिए।
✓
Your mother prepares delicious food, doesn't she?
Prepares is Present Indefinite, so the helper is does, but the tag uses did, a past helper. The statement is positive, so the tag must be negative as well.
✓
Your mother prepares delicious food, doesn't she?

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

A'Your mother' संदिग्ध प्रतीत हुआ, क्योंकि कर्ता के पश्चात 'she' वाला tag है। परंतु यह शुद्ध है; त्रुटि "did she?" में है, जो present positive कथन के पश्चात past, positive tag है।'Your mother' looked suspicious as a subject followed by a tag with 'she'. But it is correct; the error is "did she?", a past, positive tag after a present, positive statement.
B'prepares delicious food,' संदिग्ध प्रतीत हुआ, क्योंकि 'delicious food' में 'a' आवश्यक लगा। परंतु 'prepares delicious food' शुद्ध है (food uncountable है); त्रुटि tag "did she?" में है।'prepares delicious food,' looked doubtful as 'delicious food' may need 'a'. But 'prepares delicious food' is correct (food is uncountable); the error is the tag "did she?".
Dवाक्य शीघ्र पढ़ने पर ठीक प्रतीत होता है, क्योंकि "did she?" में सही pronoun है। परंतु 'prepares' present है, अतः helper 'does' है, और tag negative होना चाहिए: "doesn't she?"।The sentence sounds fine when read fast, since "did she?" has the right pronoun. But 'prepares' is present, so the helper is 'does', and the tag must be negative: "doesn't she?".
