Question

Choose the appropriate question to follow for the statement given below:
Statement given below: 
Yes, it does.

• A. Does it rain in winter?
• B. Is it raining in winter?
• C. Did it rain in winter?
• D. What happens in winter?

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine the most appropriate question for the statement "Yes, it does," we need to analyze the context and structure of the statement.

• The statement "Yes, it does" is an affirmative response to a question. The key word here is "does," which indicates that the original question likely uses present tense.
• We have four options to evaluate:

1. Does it rain in winter?
2. Is it raining in winter?
3. Did it rain in winter?
4. What happens in winter?

Let's go through each option to find the best match:

• The sentence "Does it rain in winter?" corresponds perfectly with the affirmation "Yes, it does." The auxiliary verb "does" in the question matches the auxiliary in the answer, indicating a question about a habitual or general truth in the present tense.
• "Is it raining in winter?" is in the present continuous tense, which expects an answer like "Yes, it is" rather than "Yes, it does."
• "Did it rain in winter?" is in the past tense, expecting an answer like "Yes, it did," hence it does not align with "Yes, it does."
• "What happens in winter?" is open-ended and expects a descriptive response, not simply "Yes, it does."

Conclusively, the correct choice is: Does it rain in winter?
