Hence option A is correct and D is incorrect.
Option B: 'Who' refers to a person and does not address a thing 'price'.
Option C: 'How' refers to the manner or value of something. If 'how' were to be used in this sentence, it would be followed by a quantifier 'much'. Otherwise, this word isn't suitable here.
Hence options B and C are incorrect.

What ______________ on Sundays?

framing questions transformation of sentences english

  1. all usually do

  2. do all usually do

  3. do all usually

  4. usually does all do

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
When we form a question with 'what', we usually invert the word order of a positive sentence, where the form is 'what + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb'
Option B: 'Do all usually do' follows the form given above: do (auxiliary verb) + all (subject) (+ usually is an adverb) + do (main verb).
Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'All usually do' is missing the auxiliary verb 'do'. Hence this phrase is incomplete and A is wrong.
Option C: Similarly, 'do all usually' is missing the main verb, hence C is incorrect.
Option D: In 'usually does all do', 'does' is a singular verb and does not agree with the subject 'all'. When the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. Hence option D is incorrect.
('Do' can function as an auxiliary verb as well as a main verb.)

Add an appropriate question tag:

One good turn deserves another.

framing questions transformation of sentences english

  1. Doesn't it?

  2. Don't it

  3. Does it?

  4. Did it?

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If the statement is positive, the question tag following it has to be negative and vice versa; hence both the options C and D are incorrect because they're positive. Question tags are made up of an auxiliary or modal verb and a subject pronoun. the verb being the same as in the statement. In cases such as the given statement, there isn't an auxiliary verb. So in this case you use does, do or did. The statement is in simple present tense, hence 'did' can't be placed anywhere in it since it is an auxiliary used to refer to the past. Let's add does to the sentence, if you elaborate the sentence, you'd probably put it this way: One good turn does deserve another and the sentence tag for this statement is doesn't it (option A) You wouldn't be able to place 'do' in the sentence as it wouldn't be grammatically correct so we won't use don't it (option B). This should explain why Option A is the correct answer to the given statement.
