Choose the appropriate question tag : You'd rather go, _______ ?
योग्य उत्तर: पर्याय ४ (wouldn't you)
स्पष्टीकरण:
दिलेल्या विधानासाठी योग्य Question Tag निवडायचा आहे.
१.
दिलेले वाक्य: *"You'd rather go, ___ ?"*
२.
संक्षिप्त रूपाचा ('d) उलगडा:
•
इंग्रजीत 'd हे 'had' किंवा 'would' या दोघांचे संक्षिप्त रूप (Contraction) असू शकते:
•
'd rather = would rather (पसंती किंवा प्राधान्य दर्शवण्यासाठी).
•
'd better = had better (सल्ला किंवा शिफारस दर्शवण्यासाठी).
•
प्रस्तुत वाक्यात 'rather' सोबत 'd आले आहे, म्हणजेच हे "You would rather go" आहे.
३.
टॅगचा नियम:
•
मुख्य विधान होकारार्थी (Positive) आहे.
•
सहाय्यकारी क्रियापद: would
•
कर्ता: you
•
होकारार्थी विधानाला नकारार्थी टॅग लागतो: `would + n't + you?` = "wouldn't you?"
४.
इतर पर्यायांचे विश्लेषण:
•
hadn't you (पर्याय १): 'You'd better go' असते तर 'hadn't you' आले असते; 'rather' सोबत 'had' येत नाही.
•
didn't you / doesn't you (पर्याय २ व ३): मोडल सहाय्यकारी क्रियापद 'would' असताना do/does/did वापरता येत नाही.
त्यामुळे अचूक उत्तर "wouldn't you" हेच आहे.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 4 (wouldn't you)
Explanation:
The question asks to choose the appropriate question tag for: *"You'd rather go, ___ ?"*
1.
Decoding the Contraction ('d):
•
In English, 'd can represent either had or would:
•
'd rather $\equiv$ would rather (used to express preference).
•
'd better $\equiv$ had better (used to give strong advice or recommendations).
•
Since the sentence contains rather, the contraction You'd rather stands for "You would rather go".
2.
Question Tag Rule:
•
The statement is affirmative (positive).
•
Modal Auxiliary: would
•
Subject Pronoun: you
•
An affirmative statement requires a contracted negative question tag:
•
Formation: `would + n't + you?` $\rightarrow$ "wouldn't you".
3.
Analysis of Other Options:
•
hadn't you (Option 1): Used only with *had better* (e.g., *You'd better go, hadn't you?*), not with *would rather*.
•
didn't you / doesn't you (Options 2 & 3): Incorrect because the modal auxiliary *would* is present and must be retained.
Therefore, "wouldn't you" is the correct answer.
