Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
You will have your lunch before you go to Mumbai, ___________?

• A. Weren't you
• B. Will you
• C. Isn't you
• D. Won't you

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Won't you

The correct answer is Option D.

In the given question we are to choose the correct question tag that completes the sentence.

A question tag is a grammatical structure in which a declarative statement or an imperative is turned into the interrogative. For e.g., in the sentence "You are John, aren't you?", the statement "You're John" is turned into a question tag "aren't you". It is used to confirm the statement or encourage a reply.

There are certain rules to be followed while forming question tags.

A positive statement is followed by a negative question tag and vice versa.

In the given sentence 'you will have' is the statement that has to be turned into the interrogative. This statement is a positive one and thus the question tag will be negative. Therefore, 'you will have' will become 'won't you'. Option D is the correct answer.

The opposite of will is will not and won't is the contracted form of will not.

Option A is incorrect because 'weren't you' is the question tag for the statement 'you were'.

Option B is incorrect because 'will you' is the question tag for 'you will'.

Option C is incorrect because 'isn't you' is not the correct question tag. The pronoun you is used with 'are' not 'is'.

Hence Option D is the correct option.
