    Question

    Select the option that can substitute the bracketed word segment correctly and complete the following sentence meaningfully.
    They didn’t see you coming here, (is it)?

    A.

    didn’t you

    B.

    didn’t they

    C.

    did you

    D.

    did they

    Correct option is D

    The correct substitution of the bracketed word segment is “did they.”
    Error identification: The sentence ends with a question tag, which requires the auxiliary verb "did" to match the tense and the pronoun "they" to match the subject "they" in the main clause.
    Grammatical Rule used: Question tags are formed by using the auxiliary verb from the main clause and changing the subject to its pronoun form.
    Corrected sentence: They didn’t see you coming here, did they?
