Directions :Sentences are given with blanks to be filled in with an appropriate word(s). Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four.

Question 156

The hotel was not too expensive

Solution

The correct answer is option A.

Question tag -It is used when one wants to reconfirm ones statement.It is a statement followed by a question.

If the statement is positive, question tag will be negative and vice versa.

For ex- Shyam is working in a bank, isn't he?

Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the appropriate subject.

A subject pronoun comes after an auxiliary or after `to be' form of the verb & is used to replace the noun.

Here in the given question-

Hotel was not too expensive, wasn't it?

Since the statement /main part of the sentence is in positive form, question tag will be negative.

Here `was' is used in main part of the sentence,so in question tag we use `wasn't'.

(Same verb/(auxiliary,modal,main)as that of the sentence)

To indicate `Hotel',here we used pronoun`it'.
