Explanation
The correct answer is "don't you." This is because the question is asking for agreement or confirmation of the statement "You like animals."

9.
There aren't many polar bears left, ...?
Correct Answer
B. Aren't there
Explanation
The correct answer is "aren't there." This is because the sentence is in the negative form and is asking for confirmation. When asking a question in English, we use the auxiliary verb "do" to form the question. In this case, the subject "polar bears" is plural, so we use "aren't" as the contraction of "are not." The word "there" is used to refer to the existence or presence of something, so it is appropriate in this context.

You will join our expedition to the Arctic, ...?

The correct answer is "won't you." This is because the phrase "won't you" is used to make a polite invitation or offer, and in this context, it is asking if the person will join the expedition to the Arctic. The other options, "will you" and "do you," do not convey the same sense of invitation or offer.
