Therefore, the correct tag question is "have they".

9. Bocerr enjoyed the day,............?

Explanation

The correct answer is "didn't she" because "Bocerr" is a singular noun, so the pronoun used to refer to her should also be singular. In this case, "she" is the correct singular pronoun to use. The other option, "didn't he," would be incorrect because it refers to a male subject, which does not match the given noun "Bocerr."

Submit
10. I am not a teacher,...............?

Explanation

The given correct answer is "am I." This is because the question "I am not a teacher,...............?" is a negative statement, and when forming a question from a negative statement, we use the auxiliary verb before the subject. In this case, the auxiliary verb "am" is used before the subject "I" to form the question "am I."
