The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The education of girls / is a primary concern for the country, / so it should be started early, / isn’t it?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. isn’t it
- The fourth part of the sentence is erroneous in nature.
- A negative question tag must be used with a positive sentence.
- Since a positive modal 'should' is used. We should use a negative question tag.
- So, 'isn't it' should be replaced with 'shouldn't it'.
The correct sentence is:
The education of girls is a primary concern for the country, so it should be started early, shouldn't it?
