The correct sentence is: I believe in honesty and righteousness, don’t I?
Pointers to be remembered:
- Do not write an entire sentence in capital letters. Use capitalization at the beginning of the sentence, for proper nouns and for the word ‘I’.
- Use appropriate punctuation where required. End the statement/question with the right punctuation mark. Here, we need to use a question mark at the end, because the last part contains a question tag (aren’t I). Therefore, it is a question and requires a question mark. Also, use a comma before the question tag phrase. So, place a comma after ‘righteousness’.
- Correct the question tag. The question talks about ‘I’ and not ‘we’. ‘Aren’t’ is applicable with ‘we’. Therefore, it is an incorrect question tag and needs to be changed to ‘don’t I’.
