Let's buy a new phone with the annual bonus, (can we)?
(1) shall we
(2) can't we
(3) don't we
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation: The modal verb "can we" should be replaced with "shall we". The use of the question tag "shall we" is appropriate in this context as it suggests a suggestion or an invitation. A question tag is a very short clause at the end of a statement that changes the statement into a question. A question tag is formed by inverting the subject and verb of a statement.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Let's buy a new phone with the annual bonus, shall we?"
