Choose the correct item. The school year in England never begins on Monday, __?

The correct answer is "does it?". Explanation: The sentence "The school year in England never begins on Monday" is a negative sentence due to the use of "never". The question tag for a negative sentence is positive, and it reflects the tense and subject of the main clause. The helping verb in the sentence is "does" (from "begins"), and the subject is "it" (referring to "the school year"). Therefore, the correct question tag is "does it?".
