Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
"Does she live in Australia?"
"No, she ___________."

• A. Do
• B. Does
• C. Don't
• D. Doesn't

Answer 1

The correct option is D Doesn't

The correct answer is Option D.

The speaker wants to know where she lives.

From the second sentence we know that she does not live in Australia. Thus, DOESN'T is the correct answer. DOESN'T is a negative word used when the subject associated is in the singular.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

Option A: DO is used when the subject is plural.

Option B: DOES would be correct if she had been living in Australia.

Option C: DON'T would be correct if the subject had been in plural.

Hence Option D is the correct answer.
