Question

Everyone is present, ..........

• A. Isn't it?
• B. Is it?
• C. Is he?
• D. Aren't they?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Aren't they?

• Everyone is an indefinite pronoun referring to people.

• In question tags, words such as everyone, everybody, someone, somebody, nobody generally take the pronoun “they”.

• The main sentence is affirmative (Everyone is present), so the question tag should be negative.

• The verb in the main sentence is is, so the negative tag uses aren’t.

• Therefore, the correct tag is “aren’t they?”
