Fill in the blank with the appropriate question tag:

These are your gloves, ______?

Correct option is D

Explanation:

The correct answer is aren't they.

The sentence "These are your gloves" is an affirmative statement in the present tense, using the verb "are."
When forming a question tag, we repeat the auxiliary or linking verb in its negative form while matching the subject in number and person.
The subject "these" is plural, so the correct question tag should use "they" as the pronoun.
The verb "are" in the affirmative statement changes to "aren't" in the question tag.

Thus, the correct sentence is:
"These are your gloves, aren't they?"

What is a Question Tag?

- A question tag is a short question added at the end of a statement to confirm or check information.

- It usually follows the opposite polarity rule:

- If the main sentence is positive, the tag is negative.

- If the main sentence is negative, the tag is positive.

Examples of Question Tags:

- You are coming to the party, aren’t you?
- She doesn’t like coffee, does she?
- They have finished their work, haven’t they?
- He can swim well, can’t he?

Structure for Question Tags:

- Auxiliary Verb + Pronoun + "?"

- If there is no auxiliary verb, use "do/does/did" in the tag.

- If the sentence has a modal verb (can, should, must), the same modal verb is used in the tag.
