Question

Fill in the blank with most appropriate word-
________ born?
I was born in London.
a) Where did you
b) Where were you
c) Where are you
d) Where do you

Answer 1

Hint: Read the given phrase/sentence carefully. Try to make out the meaning of it and find the subject or the predicate or the main object of the sentence.

Complete answer:
The given sentence conveys that someone asked the place of the other's birth, and the other person replies that he/she was born in London. The first part of the question is a question tag, we need to fill it with the most suitable options among the four.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct option -
Option ‘a’ is Where did you. It cannot be used in the given question as we cannot use ‘did’ here. Then, it would be grammatically incorrect.
Option ‘b’ is Where were you. This is the correct option as we use ‘were’ in such types of questions. It is the correct option.
Option ‘c’ is Where are you. This is in the present tense, which cannot be the correct answer as the other person was born years ago. It cannot be the correct answer.
Option ‘d’ is Where do you. This is not the correct option as it is also in the present tense. We cannot use ‘do’ in this given question.

Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct option.

Note:
 All the other options are plausible distractions. The phrase in the past tense has to be used in this question, present tense can’t be used.
