The medicines have arrived, isn't it?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. haven't they.

  • The correct way to phrase the question tag in the sentence should be based on the auxiliary verb in the main clause and whether the statement is positive or negative.
  • In this case, the main clause is "The medicines have arrived," which is a positive statement using the auxiliary verb "have."
  • The correct question tag should use the negative form of the auxiliary verb "have," which is "haven't."

So, the correct substitution is: "The medicines have arrived, haven't they?"
