Answer:

option a............

Answer 2

Answer: The correct question tag for the sentence "Everybody was very happy" is "weren't they."

Explanation:  So the complete sentence with the question tag would be: "Everybody was very happy, weren't they?"

All the other options are incorrect because :

• The phrase "wasn't they" is not a correct question tag because "they" is a plural pronoun, and the verb "wasn't" is the singular form of "was not.", the correct form for a question tag is to use the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb that matches the tense and subject of the main clause. In the case of the sentence "Everybody was very happy," the auxiliary verb is "was," which is singular. So, the appropriate question tag would also be in the singular form, which is "wasn't it?" or "wasn't he?" or "wasn't she?" depending on the context of the sentence.

• The phrase "haven't they" is not the correct question tag for the sentence "Everybody was very happy." The reason is that "haven't" is the contracted form of "have not," which is the present perfect tense. However, the main verb in the original sentence, "was," is in the past tense, not in the present perfect tense, the question tag should match the tense of the main clause. Since the verb "was" in the sentence "Everybody was very happy" is in the past tense, the correct question tag should also be in the past tense.

• The phrase "isn't he" is not the correct question tag for the sentence "Everybody was very happy." The reason is that the main verb in the original sentence, "was," is in the past tense, not the present tense. "Isn't he" uses the present tense of "to be" with the pronoun "he," which doesn't match the past tense "was" in the main clause, the question tag should match the tense and subject of the main clause. Since the verb "was" in the sentence "Everybody was very happy" is in the past tense and the subject is plural ("everybody"), the correct question tag should also be in the past tense and plural form.

So , the correct question tag for the sentence "Everybody was very happy" is "weren't they?" because "weren't" is the contracted form of "were not," which is in the past tense and matches the tense and subject of the main clause.
