CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
A question tag repeats the subject as a pronoun and the helping verb of the sentence. "Your brother works" becomes "doesn't he?"
Worth noting
"Isn't it?" is a common tag in Indian speech, but in written English the tag must match the subject and the verb.
