The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1


This is a question tag. When the main clause is positive ("You will come"), the tag is negative ("won't you"). 
Checking: 
- (a) "won't you" → correct negative tag. 
- (b) "will you" → would be correct only if the statement was negative. 
- (c) "shouldn't you" → incorrect auxiliary. 
- (d) "aren't you" → wrong auxiliary. \[ \boxed{\text{won't you}} \]

Approach Solution -2

Apply the question-tag rule mechanically: identify the auxiliary verb in the main clause and its polarity, then match the tag's auxiliary and opposite polarity, rather than judging the options by feel.

  1. Option A: the main clause uses the auxiliary "will" in the positive; the matching tag must use "will" in the negative, which is exactly "won't you."
  2. Option B: "will you" repeats the same positive polarity as the main clause, but tags must flip polarity, so this fails the rule.
  3. Option C: "shouldn't you" uses a completely different auxiliary ("should") than the one in the main clause ("will"), so the auxiliary itself does not match.
  4. Option D: "aren't you" uses "are," an auxiliary that has no connection to "will" at all, so it also fails the auxiliary-matching requirement.

Only option A correctly matches both the auxiliary "will" and the required flip in polarity.

Hence, the correct answer is won't you.
