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- Shyamis working in a bank, isn’the?
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’.

2) Answer (A)

The correct answer is option number 1st.
To +V1 is called as the infinitive form if the verb.
After `to’ we use first form if the verb.
Infinitive form if the verb is used when we want to express the purpose,to answer why.
Ex-He studied hard to make his parents proud.
Why he do study -to make his parents proud.
Infinitive form is used as a subject of verb,as a object of verb,as the complement of the verb,as a object of preposition,to qualify noun,to qualify a sentence.
Here it is used as a `Adverb’.It qualifies verb `Studied’.
In the given example, options -`to be filled,filling,filled’are wrong.Because after `to’ we can’t use 3rd form of the verb,rest options are grammatically incorrect.

3) Answer (D)

The correct answer is option number -D
Mustn’t have done is the correct answer.
Mustn’t have -Must is a modal verb,it adds meaning to another verb.
Mustn’t we use to show possibility or necessity.
Must not -We use to talk about things we need to avoid doing or while telling someone to not do it.
Rest options are grammatically & contextual incorrect.
Hadn’t to do -Had we use to indicate past things.Also hadn’t to do is grammatically incorrect.
Might -We use might to show prediction, possibility, probability.
Ex- the Prime Minister might visit the town.
Here indicating possibility.
Might & hadn’t is inappropriate because sentence is in the present tense.
Usage of didn’t is not contextually correct.
Didn’t have to do -We say didn’t have to represent specific point of time that has already passed.
Only option `Mustn’t have do’ is grammatically & contextually correct.

4) Answer (B)

The correct answer is option B.
Here it’s prepositional error.
Preposition `TO‘ is used to show destination.
Also `go to sea ‘ is an idiom which means to become a seller,to embark on a voyage.
We see uses of other preposition
Into– we use this to show moment,any action which show moment.
Ex- He jumped into the well.
In -It is use to show place,time.
Ex- There is a pen in the cupboard.
On -it is use to indicate time,place.(When things are in direct contact,at surface area,in rest position)
