Question

None of them attended the function, __________

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

Answer 1

Answer:

A. did they?

• "None of them attended the function" is a negative statement (because "none" means not one).

• Main clause നെഗറ്റീവ് ആയിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ, question tag പോസിറ്റീവ് ആയിരിക്കണം.

• Since the verb "attended" is in the past tense (simple past), the correct positive question tag is "did they?"

• "do they?": This is present tense, while the sentence is in the past tense ("attended"). So, it is incorrect.
