In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fill(s) the gap:
A number of teachers in secondary schools are not so well disposed to .... these days, .... they?
A
teach/aren't
B
teaching/are
C
teach/do
D
teach/are
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The phrase "disposed to" is followed by a gerund (verb + -ing), not the base verb. Since the main sentence is negative ("are not..."), the question tag must be positive ("are they?").
This keeps subject–verb agreement and tag rules consistent.
