Select the correct sentences from the following : a. Open the door, will you ? b. Let's see that movie, should'nt we ? c. The country needs a more dynamic leader, doesn't she ? d. The girl hasn't slept yet, hasn't she ?
योग्य उत्तर: पर्याय १ (a and c only)
स्पष्टीकरण:
•
वाक्य a बरोबर आहे: "Open the door, will you ?" - आज्ञार्थी वाक्याचा (Imperative sentence) टॅग 'will you?' बरोबर आहे.
•
वाक्य b चुकीचे आहे: "Let's see that movie, should'nt we ?" - 'Let's' चा टॅग 'shouldn't we' नसतो, तो 'shall we?' असावा लागतो.
•
वाक्य c बरोबर आहे: "The country needs a more dynamic leader, doesn't she ?" - देशाचा (Country / Nation) उल्लेख करताना पारंपरिक अलंकारिक इंग्रजीत देशाला मातृभूमी मानून स्त्रीलिंगी सर्वनाम 'she' वापरले जाते, आणि 'needs' मुळे 'doesn't she?' योग्य ठरते.
•
वाक्य d चुकीचे आहे: "The girl hasn't slept yet, hasn't she ?" - मुख्य विधान 'hasn't' (नकारार्थी) असल्याने टॅग होकारार्थी 'has she?' असायला हवा होता.
•
त्यामुळे केवळ a and c only (पर्याय १) बरोबर आहेत.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 1 (a and c only)
Explanation:
•
Sentence a is correct: "Open the door, will you ?" Imperative commands politely take the tag *will you?*.
•
Sentence b is incorrect: "Let's see that movie, should'nt we ?" 'Let's' must always be tagged with shall we?.
•
Sentence c is correct: "The country needs a more dynamic leader, doesn't she ?" In formal literary English, countries and nations are personified as female, correctly taking feminine pronoun she (*doesn't she?*).
•
Sentence d is incorrect: "The girl hasn't slept yet, hasn't she ?" A negative clause (*hasn't*) must take an affirmative tag: has she?.
•
Hence, a and c only are correct.
