JAMB - English Language (1998 - No. 54)

Fill each of the gap with the appropriate option from the list following the the gap.

Students will always blame their teachers when examination results are unfavorable .......?
won't they
wouldn't they
isn't it
can't they

Explanation

When we use a tag question after a statement in English, the tag question typically takes the opposite form of the main clause. Since the main clause is in the positive form ("Students will always blame..."), the tag question should be in the negative form ("won't they") to maintain balance and seek agreement or confirmation.
