2. Tom is getting something for Sue, ____? 

Explanation

The correct answer is "isn't he". This is because the sentence is in the present tense and the question tag should match the tense of the main verb. Since "is" is the main verb in the sentence, the correct question tag is "isn't he".

Submit
3. It won't be anything expensive, ___?

Explanation

The correct answer is "c. will it" because the question is asking for confirmation or agreement that something won't be expensive. The phrase "will it" is used to seek confirmation or agreement in this context.

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

Explanation

The correct answer is "c. do we." This is because the question is in the negative form, and when forming a negative question, we use the auxiliary verb "do" before the subject. In this case, the subject is "we," so the correct form is "do we."

Submit
5. Susan can bring some food,___?

Explanation

The correct answer is c. can't she. This is because the question is asking if Susan is capable of bringing some food. The phrase "can't she" is used to express doubt or disbelief, implying that Susan is indeed capable of bringing food. The other options, "won't she" and "will she," do not fit the context of the question and therefore are incorrect.

Submit
6. The movie was very long, ___?

Explanation

The correct answer is "wasn't it." This is because the sentence is in the past tense, and the question tag should match the tense of the main clause. In this case, the main clause is "The movie was very long," which is in the past tense. Therefore, the question tag should also be in the past tense, resulting in "wasn't it."

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

Explanation

The correct answer is "c. was it." This is because the question is in the negative form, "It wasn't very difficult," so the correct tag question should be in the positive form. Therefore, "was it" is the appropriate tag question to use in this context.

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

Explanation

The given correct answer is "b. isn't there". This is because the sentence is in the negative form and is referring to the noises outside. The word "noises" is plural, so the correct form of the verb "to be" should also be plural. Therefore, "isn't there" is the correct negative form to use in this sentence.

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 with a previous statement. In this case, the previous statement is "There is some milk in the refrigerator." By using the question tag "isn't there," it is asking for confirmation or agreement that there is indeed 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 with the statement "The party starts at eight o'clock". The phrase "doesn't it" is a contraction of "does not it", which is used to form a negative question tag. In this case, it is used to seek confirmation that the party does not start at eight o'clock.
