Question and options
Listening to the recording of cricket commentary from the past can be great fun. Especially, the last few overs, when the best players are gone, and the tailenders try their best to run between the wickets without getting out. This is when you realise that nothing much has changed, hasn't it?
- nothing much has changed, has it?
- nothing much has changed, would it?
- nothing much is changed, isn't it?
- nothing much has changed, hasn't it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - nothing much has changed, has it?
'Nothing much has changed' is negative in sense because of 'nothing', so the question tag must be positive and repeat the auxiliary 'has': 'has it?'. 'Hasn't it?' wrongly makes the tag negative, 'would it?' uses an auxiliary not in the clause, and 'is changed, isn't it?' alters the tense and still gives a negative tag.
