    Question

    Identify the part which contains the error.
    Unfortunately, (a) I can’t (b) hear properly, (c) is it? (d)

    A.

    a

    B.

    b

    C.

    c

    D.

    d

    Correct option is D

    Option (d) contains an error.
    Detailed Explanation (English):
    • The sentence is negative: “I can’t hear properly”.
    • In question tags, we use:
    negative statement + positive tag
    – and the tag must use the same auxiliary/modal as the statement.
    • The auxiliary/modal here is can (can’t).
    • So the correct tag should be: “can I?”
    • “is it?” is wrong because it uses is (be-verb), which does not match the main clause.
    Correct sentence: Unfortunately, I can’t hear properly, can I?
    Grammatical Rule Used (English):
    • Tag question rule: Use the same auxiliary/modal from the statement.
    • Negative statement → positive tag.
    • can’t → can + subject (I) → “can I?”
    Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):
    • Question tag में main sentence का same helping verb/modal ही आता है।
    • Negative sentence के साथ positive tag आता है।
    • “I can’t …” में modal can है, इसलिए tag होगा: can I?
    • “is it?” गलत है क्योंकि यह “be-verb” का tag है और sentence से match नहीं करता।
    Example:
    • He isn’t coming, is he?
    • You can swim, can’t you?
