Choose the correct question-tag for the following sentence. Monica isn't very tall,...............
योग्य उत्तर: पर्याय १ (Is she?)
स्पष्टीकरण:
दिलेल्या वाक्यासाठी योग्य Question Tag निवडायचा आहे.
१.
दिलेले वाक्य: *"Monica isn't very tall, ..............."*
२.
व्याकरण नियम:
•
मुख्य विधानाचे स्वरूप: नकारार्थी (Negative statement कारण यात 'isn't' = is not आले आहे).
•
नियम: नकारार्थी विधानाला नेहमी होकारार्थी टॅग (Positive tag) लागतो.
•
सहाय्यकारी क्रियापद: is
•
कर्ता: Monica (स्त्रीलिंगी एकवचनी नाम, ज्यासाठी सर्वनाम 'she' येईल).
•
रचनेचे सूत्र: `सहाय्यकारी क्रियापद (होकारार्थी) + सर्वनाम?`
•
टॅग: "is she?"
३.
इतर पर्यायांचे विश्लेषण:
•
Isn't she? (पर्याय २): हा नकारार्थी टॅग आहे; नकारार्थी विधानाला नकारार्थी टॅग चालत नाही.
•
Isn't it? (पर्याय ३): 'Monica' साठी 'it' सर्वनाम चुकीचे आहे आणि टॅगही नकारार्थी आहे.
•
Doesn't she? (पर्याय ४): वाक्यात 'is' असताना 'does' वापरता येत नाही.
त्यामुळे योग्य Question Tag "Is she?" हाच आहे.

Analysis of Other Options:
•
Isn't she? (Option 2): Negative tag; cannot be paired with a negative statement.
•
Isn't it? (Option 3): Incorrect pronoun ('it' cannot refer to Monica) and incorrect negative polarity.

Doesn't she? (Option 4): Incorrect auxiliary verb ('does' cannot replace 'is').
Therefore, "Is she?" is the correct answer.

Always identify the polarity of the statement first:
•
If the statement has *not, never, neither, no, scarcely, hardly*, the tag must be positive.
•
If the statement is positive, the tag must be negative (contracted).
