Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
She hardly works on weekends, ______?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. does she.
The sentence 'She hardly works on weekends' is a negative statement because the word 'hardly' implies a negative meaning (she almost never works on weekends).
In question tags, a negative statement is followed by a positive tag, and vice versa.
The auxiliary verb in the statement determines the auxiliary used in the tag. Here, the verb 'works' uses the auxiliary 'does' in question form.
Thus, the correct question tag is: 'does she?'
