IPMAT Indore 2023 - VA Q66 Explanation

Explanation:

(d)

The original sentence ends with "hasn’t it," which is a tag question. However, when the main part of the sentence is positive, as in "nothing much has changed," the correct tag question is "has it?"

nothing much has changed, has it? This is the correct choice. When the main part of the sentence is positive, the appropriate tag question is "has it?"

nothing much has changed, hasn’t it? This option uses the negative tag question "hasn’t it," which is not suitable when the main part of the sentence is positive. It creates a mismatch in the sentence structure.

nothing much has changed, would it? This option introduces "would it" as a tag question, which is not appropriate in this context. The correct tag question for a positive statement in present perfect tense is "has it?"

nothing much is changed, isn't it? This option changes the verb tense in the main part of the sentence to "is changed," which is not consistent with the original sentence's structure. Additionally, the tag question "isn't it" is not appropriate here; the correct tag for a present perfect tense positive statement is "has it?"

In summary, option 1, "nothing much has changed, has it?" is the correct choice as it maintains the appropriate structure for a positive statement in the present perfect tense.
