Answer:
ANSWER
Question tags are words that convert a simple sentence into an interrogatory sentence. These are auxiliary verbs used in the sentence. We use these verbs negatively with the pronoun to create a question tag. For example, 'You are Raj, aren't you?' Here, 'aren't you' is a question tag. The answer to these questions is usually a yes or a no.
Option A - As the sentence has two subjects, we can't use 'she' as a pronoun here. Also, 'was' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb, which can be used when the subject is singular. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'Do/Don't' explains the state of doing and not 'the state of being' of a subject. As 'were' in the given sentence explains us the state of being of 'Radhika' and 'Rashi' in the past, we can't use 'don't' to state their state of doing in the present. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Aren't' is used to explain 'the state of being' of an object in the present tense only. However, the given sentence is in past tense. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Were' is given in the sentence which is used as a question tag too. As there are two subjects, we can say that the subject of the sentence is plural and hence we use 'they' as the pronoun. As the word 'not' is added to the auxiliaries to make them question tags, 'weren't they' is grammatically correct. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
'Radhika and Rashi were supposed to bring the cake, weren't they?'
