Error (Question:128719.2)

Why opption c is not correct??

Question:

DIRECTIONS: In each of the following questions, a part of the sentence is Bold. Below each sentence are given some possible substitutions for the bold part. If one of them is better than the bold part, indicate your response against the corresponding letter. If none of the option improves the sentence choose “No correction required” as your answer.

She is hardly the right person for the job, isn’t she?

Options:
A)

Is she?

B)

Doesn’t she?

C)

Does she?

D)

Weren’t she?

E)

No correction required

Solution:
Ans: (a)
 If the statement contains words such as no, no one, nothing, nobody, scarcely, hardly, hardly ever, never, neither, seldom, under no circumstances… etc, it is considered a negative statement and followed by an affirmative tag.

Eg: Julia hardly ever drinks coke, does she?

Nothing will cure his illness, will it?

He never acts like a gentleman, does he?

It is no good, is it?
