This question tests knowledge of question tags in English grammar. The general rule for question tags is that if the main statement is positive, the tag is negative, and if the main statement is negative, the tag is positive. The auxiliary verb used in the main statement is usually repeated in the tag, and the pronoun matches the subject.
Correct Option: D) students should be allowed to use the library everyday,
The statement "students should be allowed to use the library everyday" is a positive statement using the modal verb "should". Therefore, its question tag will be negative, using the same modal verb and the pronoun corresponding to the subject: "shouldn't they?".
This question tests knowledge of tag questions, specifically how to form them when the main clause contains a negative implication. The word "few" implies a negative sense, which means the tag question should be positive.
Correct Option: B) Few people knew the way, did they?
To choose the correct question tag, we need to identify the auxiliary verb and the subject of the main sentence. The question tag should be negative if the main sentence is positive, and positive if the main sentence is negative. The pronoun in the tag must agree with the subject of the main sentence.
Correct Option: B) aren't there?
