Correct Answer

You like animals, ...?
- Do you
- Don't you
- Aren't you
Correct Answer

A. Don't you

Explanation

The correct answer is "don't you." This is because the question is asking for agreement or confirmation of the statement "You like animals." The phrase "don't you" is a tag question that is commonly used to seek confirmation or agreement. In this case, it is used to ask if the person likes animals as well.

Rate this question:
9.

There aren't many polar bears left, ...?
- Aren't they
- Aren't there
- Aren't it
Correct Answer

A. Aren't there

Explanation

The correct answer is "aren't there." This is because the sentence is in the negative form and is asking for confirmation. When asking a question in English, we use the auxiliary verb "do" to form the question. In this case, the subject "polar bears" is plural, so we use "aren't" as the contraction of "are not." The word "there" is used to refer to the existence or presence of something, so it is appropriate in this context.

Rate this question:
10.

You will join our expedition to the Arctic, ...?
- Will you
- Won't you
- Do you
Correct Answer

A. Won't you

Explanation

The correct answer is "won't you." This is because the phrase "won't you" is used to make a polite invitation or offer, and in this context, it is asking if the person will join the expedition to the Arctic. The other options, "will you" and "do you," do not convey the same sense of invitation or offer.
