</li></ol> <h2 id="content-id-9781352064-5"><b> Error Spotting Questions Solution</b></h2><p>The correct answer is option 3 i.e. <strong>c</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>Error concept:</strong> Error in question tag formation<br>
<strong>What is wrong:</strong> The sentence "Prateek doesn’t look well today" is <strong>negative</strong>. The tag used, "doesn’t he?", is also negative — which is incorrect.<br>
<strong>Grammatical concept:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p>Rule 1: If the main clause is <strong>positive</strong>, the question tag must be <strong>negative</strong>.</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Rule 2: If the main clause is <strong>negative</strong>, the question tag must be <strong>positive</strong>.</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Rule 3: The <strong>auxiliary verb</strong> used in the main clause is repeated in the tag.<br>
	 </p>
	</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Incorrectness of the concept in context:</strong><br>
Using "doesn’t he?" after "doesn’t look well" breaks the rule of positive-negative balance. Both parts are negative.<br>
<strong>How to correct:</strong> Since the main clause is negative ("doesn’t look well"), the question tag should be <strong>positive</strong> — "does he?"<br>
<strong>Correction:</strong> does he?<br>
<strong>Final sentence: <em>Prateek doesn’t look well today, does he?</em><br>
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.</strong></p>
