You will surely help me with my work, … ?

Analyze the question: This is a question tag exercise. The sentence "You will surely help me with my work" is a positive statement, and we need the tag that best completes it.

Explain the concept: In English, a question tag usually reverses the polarity of the main statement:

• Positive statement → negative tag
• Negative statement → positive tag

The tag also repeats the auxiliary verb in the main clause. Here, the auxiliary is will, so the tag should be built from will (or its close relative would) plus a pronoun.

Step-by-step solution:

1. The statement is positive: "You will surely help me..."
2. The auxiliary verb is will, so we need a negative tag with will: won't you.
3. Check the options: • A. can you uses the wrong auxiliary (can instead of will), and it is positive, so the polarity is not reversed. • B. won't you has the correct auxiliary and the correct reversed polarity (negative). • C. would you is positive and uses a different auxiliary, so it is not the best match. • D. you won't is not a proper tag, because a tag puts the auxiliary before the pronoun ("won't you", not "you won't").

Answer: The correct option is B. won't you.

Tip: For question tags, follow the formula reverse the polarity and repeat the auxiliary. Positive statement with "will" gives "won't you?" Negative statement with "will not" gives "will you?" Also remember that the tag's word order is always auxiliary + pronoun, so any option written as "pronoun + auxiliary" (like "you won't") can be eliminated immediately.
