Question

A few of his friends accepted his invitation, …..?

• A. did they
• B. didn’t they
• C. do they
• D. don’t they

Answer 1

Answer:

B. didn’t they

• The main clause "A few of his friends accepted his invitation" is positive.
• The verb in the main clause is "accepted," which is in the past tense. Therefore, the auxiliary verb for the tag question is "did."
• Since the main clause is positive, the tag question must be negative. Thus, "did" becomes "didn’t."
• The subject "A few of his friends" is plural, so the pronoun in the tag question should be "they."
• So, the correct answer is: didn’t they.
