    A isn't he Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B he doesn't Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C doesn't he Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D does he Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Chirag hardly ever cooks, does he? This is an example of a question tag. When the main statement is negative, the question tag must be positive. In this case, "hardly ever" implies a negative meaning, so the correct question tag is positive: "does he". Option A: isn’t he is incorrect because it is used for a different type of sentence, typically referring to the verb "to be" rather than an action like cooking. Option B: he doesn’t is incorrect because it's not a proper question tag; it repeats the negative form of the sentence, which is not appropriate in this context. Option C: doesn’t he is incorrect because it's a negative question tag, and we need a positive tag here due to the negative implication of "hardly ever."
