“Sujata is late in the office.” “She rarely comes in time ….. ?”

The correct answer is: A. don’t she

The sentence “Sujata is late in the office” is a statement about Sujata’s habitual lateness. The question “She rarely comes in time ….. ?” is asking for confirmation of this statement. The answer “don’t she” is the most natural way to confirm this statement.

The other options are not as natural. The answer “does she” would be more appropriate if the question was asking about a specific instance of Sujata being late. The answer “doesn’t she” would be more appropriate if the question was asking about a general trend of Sujata being late. The answer “won’t she” is not a natural way to confirm the statement “Sujata is late in the office.”

Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:

• Option A: “don’t she” is the most natural way to confirm the statement “Sujata is late in the office.” This is because the question “She rarely comes in time ….. ?” is asking for confirmation of this statement. The answer “don’t she” is a direct way to confirm this statement.
• Option B: “does she” would be more appropriate if the question was asking about a specific instance of Sujata being late. For example, if the question was “Does Sujata come in late every day?”, then the answer “does she” would be a natural way to confirm this. However, the question in this case is not asking about a specific instance of Sujata being late, but rather about her general habit of being late. Therefore, the answer “does she” is not as natural as the answer “don’t she”.
• Option C: “doesn’t she” would be more appropriate if the question was asking about a general trend of Sujata being late. For example, if the question was “Doesn’t Sujata come in late a lot?”, then the answer “doesn’t she” would be a natural way to confirm this. However, the question in this case is not asking about a general trend of Sujata being late, but rather about her specific instance of being late. Therefore, the answer “doesn’t she” is not as natural as the answer “don’t she”.
• Option D: “won’t she” is not a natural way to confirm the statement “Sujata is late in the office.” This is because the question “She rarely comes in time ….. ?” is asking for confirmation of this statement. The answer “won’t she” is a way to ask about Sujata’s future plans, but the question is not asking about her future plans, it is asking about her past behavior. Therefore, the answer “won’t she” is not as natural as the answer “don’t she”.
