3. Susan can bring some food,___?

Explanation

The correct answer is "c. can't she" because the question is asking if Susan is able to bring some food. The negative form of "can" is "can't," so the correct question tag would be "can't she."

Submit
4. Tom is getting something for Sue, ____? 

Explanation

The correct answer is b. "isn't he". This is because the sentence is in the present tense and is asking for confirmation or agreement. The phrase "isn't he" is used to seek confirmation that Tom is indeed getting something for Sue.

Submit
5. We don't need to go to the store, ___?

Explanation

The given question is a negative statement, indicating that the speaker does not need to go to the store. In English, when a negative statement is made, the question tag that follows should be positive. Therefore, the correct question tag is "do we." This is because "do" is the auxiliary verb used to form question tags in present simple tense, and "we" is the correct pronoun to use in this context.

Submit
6. The movie was very long, ___?

Explanation

The given correct answer is "wasn't it." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and is asking for confirmation or agreement. In this context, "wasn't it" is the appropriate response as it is a negative question tag that matches the negative form of the verb "was."

Submit
7. It wasn't very difficult, ___?

Explanation

The given statement is a negative sentence, "It wasn't very difficult." In English, negative sentences are typically followed by positive tag questions to confirm or seek agreement. The correct tag question in this case would be "wasn't it," which is the opposite of the negative statement. Therefore, the correct answer is c. was it.

Submit
8. There is a lot of noises outside, ___? 

Explanation

The correct answer is "isn't there" because the sentence is in the negative form and the subject is singular (a lot of noises). Therefore, the correct form of the verb "to be" is "isn't" and the correct question tag is "there."

Submit
9. There is some milk in the refrigerator, ___?

Explanation

The correct answer is "isn't there" because it is a question tag used to confirm or seek agreement. In this case, the question tag is formed by using the auxiliary verb "isn't" with the subject "there." It is commonly used to confirm the existence or presence of something, which fits the context of the question asking about the milk in the refrigerator.

Submit
10. The party starts at eight o'clock, ____?

Explanation

The correct answer is "b. doesn't it." This is because the question is asking for a negative confirmation or agreement. The phrase "doesn't it" is a contraction of "does not it," which is used to seek agreement or confirmation in a negative sentence. Therefore, the correct response to the statement "The party starts at eight o'clock" would be "doesn't it."
