Identify the part which contains an error, if any : B. to the city, C. isn't? D. No error
A. They are newcomers
C
The given sentence is: "They are newcomers to the city, isn't?'
Let's identify the error:
- The sentence is affirmative: "They are newcomers to the city," so the question tag should be negative. This matches the grammatical structure where an affirmative statement is followed by a negative question tag.
- The subject "They" corresponds to "are," so the correct negative tag should be "aren't they?"
- In part C, instead of "isn't?", it should be "aren't they?" to form a correct question tag.
Therefore, the error is in part C. The correct sentence should be: "They are newcomers to the city, aren't they?"
The correct answer is C.
