In the sentence below, find the part that contains an error. If the sentence is correct as it stands, choose "No error".

  • A.None of the students attending your class
  • B.answered your questions
  • C.did they?
  • D.No error

Answer: C

The error is in did they?

None of the students is treated as singular here, and the statement is already negative, so the tag must be positive and singular: did he? In practice the sentence is better recast, since a tag on none is always awkward.
