wasn't it

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
This is a tag question, and the rules are:
If the main clause is positive, the tag is negative, and vice versa.
The auxiliary (helping) verb used in the statement is repeated in the tag.
The pronoun in the tag must agree with the subject.
With these rules, the tag is meant to be "hadn't he". However, since this is not an option, the best answer to this question is: "Isn't it?"
"Isn't it?" can be used informally to ask for agreement to the statement made, as in "Is that not so?"

The correct answer is: B. Need he
Explanation:
The sentence is a question that requires subject-verb inversion for proper grammatical structure in formal English. Using "Need he" places the auxiliary verb "need" before the subject, forming a correct interrogative sentence. Thus, the completed sentence would be:
Need he bring a letter of authority before he can collect the money?
