Question

Choose the correct phrase to complete the sentence.

There aren't any eggs in the fridge, _____ ?

• A. There is
• B. Is there
• C. Are there
• D. Are they

Answer 1

The correct option is C Are there

Question tags are short questions at the end of statements mainly used in speech when we want to confirm that something is true or not. A negative statement is followed by a positive question tag. We always use 'there' in a question tag when the sentence includes 'there + a form of be' ('there + aren't' in this case). Hence option C is the correct answer where 'there' is present in the question tag and 'aren't' is changed to 'are' making it positive.

Option A is incorrect because 'there is' is not even a question tag.

Option B is incorrect because of the presence of 'is' instead of 'are'.

Option D is incorrect because we use 'they' in a question tag when the sentence includes indefinite pronouns like nobody, no one, someone, etc.
