Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: did he
Explanation: Use a question tag that matches the auxiliary of the main clause and reverses its polarity. The main clause is past simple and negative ('did not come'), so the tag uses the auxiliary 'did' in positive form.
Identify the auxiliary: 'did not' → auxiliary is 'did'.
Check polarity: main clause is negative, so the tag must be positive.
Form the tag using the auxiliary and correct subject: 'did he?'.
Complete sentence: He did not come to the party, did he?
