Select the option that completes the sentence CORRECTLY. You are annoyed with…

Concept

A question tag is a short question added to the end of a statement to invite confirmation. In the standard confirmation tag, polarity reverses: an affirmative statement takes a negative tag, and a negative statement takes a positive tag. The tag reuses the SAME auxiliary (helping) verb that appears in the main clause, followed by the matching subject pronoun. (A same-polarity echo tag exists only in marked, emphatic speech and is not the neutral completion expected here.)

Application

Read the statement and identify its parts:

1. Main clause: "You are annoyed with me" — this is affirmative (no negation).

2. Auxiliary verb: "are" (the present form of be used with the subject "you").

3. Subject pronoun: "you".

4. Because the statement is affirmative, the tag must be negative: take the same auxiliary "are", make it negative ("are not" -> contracted "aren't"), then add the pronoun: "aren't you?"

This yields: "You are annoyed with me, aren't you?"

Cross-check

Two quick checks confirm the form. First, polarity: the statement is positive, so the tag is negative — satisfied by "aren't." Second, auxiliary agreement: the main clause uses "are," so the tag must also use "are," not "do" or "don't" (which belong to ordinary action verbs, not to the verb "be"). Both checks point to "aren't you?"
