Select an appropriate question tag for the following sentence :

He seldom answers any questions, ----------------------?

Adoes he?

Bdoesn't he?

Cdid he?

Ddidn't he?

Answer:

A. does he?

Read Explanation:

  • "Seldom" means rarely, which gives the sentence a negative meaning (even though there’s no “not”).
    So it’s treated as negative for question tag purposes.

  • Main verb: “answers” → simple present tense.
    So the auxiliary verb for the tag should be does.

  • Since the main part is negative in meaning (“seldom”), the tag should be positivedoes he?
