Write only three answer, . . . . . . ?
A. don’t you
B. won’t you
C. will you
D. do you
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The correct sentence is: "Write only three answers, will you?"In question tags, when the main clause is an imperative (command/request), the tag is usually "will you" for a neutral or polite request.
Option B: "won’t you" is sometimes used for persuasion or encouragement, but it is less common in direct instructions.
Other options like "don’t you" and "do you" are incorrect in this context.
Thus, the best choice is Option C: will you.

Why is "will you" (C) correct?
In imperative sentences (requests or commands), "will you" is the standard way to add a polite tag.
It keeps the sentence neutral and is commonly used in instructions.
Example:
"Close the door, will you?" (A simple request)
"Write only three answers, will you?" (A polite instruction)
Why not "won't you" (B)?
"Won't you" is used when you expect or urge someone to do something, often with persuasion or encouragement.
It suggests you hope or assume they will do it.
Example:
"Stay for dinner, won’t you?" (Encouraging them to stay)
"Join us, won’t you?" (A hopeful request)
In the sentence "Write only three answers, . . . . ?", there is no persuasion, just a simple request.
Final Answer:
➡ "Write only three answers, will you?" (✅ Best choice)
➡ "Write only three answers, won’t you?" (❌ Sounds unnatural in this command)
Write only the answer. Not 'Write only three answer'
Will not you
