1/30
It wasn't an old car_________?
wasn't it
is it
was it
Isn't it
Explanation: The statement is negative ("It wasn't") and in the past tense with the verb "to be." A question tag for a negative statement is positive, uses the same tense, and matches the subject ("it"). Thus, the correct tag is "was it." "Wasn't it" is incorrect because it repeats the negative form, "is it" uses the wrong tense, and "Isn't it" is both negative and in the present tense.
2/30
He doesn't like geography ____________
Doesn't he?
Do he?
Don't he?
Does he?
Explanation: The statement is negative ("doesn't like") and in the present tense with the auxiliary verb "does." For a negative statement, the question tag is positive, using the same auxiliary ("does") and subject ("he"). Thus, "Does he?" is correct. "Doesn't he?" is negative, "Do he?" is grammatically incorrect, and "Don't he?" uses the wrong auxiliary form.
3/30
I am older than you ____________
amn't I?
Weren't I?
aren't I?
am I?
Explanation: The statement is affirmative ("I am") and in the present tense. For "I am," the standard question tag in English is "aren't I?" despite the statement being positive, as "amn't I?" is not commonly used. "Weren't I?" is past tense, and "am I?" is incorrect for an affirmative statement, as it would apply to a negative statement like "I'm not."
4/30

Isn't they
Isn't it
Wasn't it
Was it
Explanation: The statement is negative ("Nothing was known") and in the past tense with the verb "to be." The pronoun for "nothing" in question tags is "it," and the tag for a negative statement is positive, using the same tense. Thus, "Was it" is correct. "Isn't they" uses incorrect pronoun and tense, "Isn't it" is present tense, and "Wasn't it" is negative.

aren't I
Explanation: The statement is affirmative ("I am") and in the present tense. For "I am," the standard question tag is "aren't I?" in standard English. "Do I" and "Shall I" do not match the verb "to be," and "am I" would be used for a negative statement like "I'm not."
