Question

Few people knew the answer, _____ ?

• A. do they
• B. did they
• C. does they
• D. don't they

Answer 1

Answer:

B. did they

• The main clause "Few people knew the answer" implies a negative meaning, as "few" suggests not many people knew (കാരണം "few/കുറച്ച്" ആളുകൾക്ക് അറിയില്ലെന്ന് സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു)
• The rule for forming question tags is that if the main clause is negative, the tag should be positive.
• "Knew" is in the past tense, so the tag should use "did" to match the tense.
