Everything seems to be going according to plan, ______?

  1. does it

  2. isn't it

  3. doesn't it

  4. is it
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The main clause uses 'seems' with the auxiliary idea embedded in 'is' via the linking sense; however, 'everything' is the subject and the verb 'seems' is simple present, so 'doesn't it' would apply—but here the copular structure 'seems to be' mirrors a stative 'is' relationship. The correct tag for 'Everything seems to be going according to plan' uses 'doesn't it' since 'seems' is a plain present-tense verb with no auxiliary, requiring 'does/doesn't'. Correction applied: correct_answer is (C) doesn't it.
