Question

Pick out the best filler which can complete the given sentence correctly.
He will never give up,....................?

• A. Will he?
• B. Won't he?
• C. Does he?
• D. Doesn't he?

Hint:

Be careful with words that carry a negative meaning, such as 'never', 'seldom', 'hardly', 'rarely', 'little', and 'few'. These words make a statement negative, so they require a positive question tag. For example, "She hardly ever comes, does she?".

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Task
The task is to add the correct question tag to the statement.

Step 2: Applying the Rules of Question Tags
We must determine if the statement is positive or negative and then create the opposite tag.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation


The main statement is "He will never give up...".

The word "never" is a negative adverb. Its presence makes the entire statement negative in meaning, even though the verb "will" is positive.

Since the statement is negative, the question tag must be positive.

The auxiliary verb is "will". The positive form is "will".

The subject pronoun is "he".

Combining the positive auxiliary verb and the pronoun gives the tag: "will he?".


Step 4: Final Answer
The statement contains "never," making it negative. The tag must be positive. The correct tag is "Will he?".
