In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase which best fills the gap:

A number of doctors are not so all well disposed to .... in government hospitals these days .... they?
working/do
work/are
working/are
work/aren't
توضیح
What follows "to" in a noun clause is a gerund (verb+ing), making "working" the correct choice. The sentence is a negative statement ("not so well disposed"), so the tag question should be positive. Since "are" is the auxiliary verb in the main clause, the correct tag question is "are they?"
Thus, the best option is:
"A number of doctors are not so well disposed to working in government hospitals these days, are they?" ✅
