Hello,
Can options B or C also work?

I have asked this question in http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/in-order-to-have-enough-energy-for-the-match-he-is-not-going-to-work-tomorrow-and-%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6%E2%80%A6.3202304/#post-16206442 too.

Thank you.

In reality it is not impossible that someone might say (b) and (c), but they do not match the first part as accurately as (a), and it seems fairly clear that (a) is the intended correct answer. "neither am I" is perhaps the most likely choice, but of course that is not listed as an option. Please note that this is incorrect spacing: a)I’m not either This is correct spacing: a) I’m not either

Thank you.

In tag questions can we use "will" to question the sentences which has "going to"?

As my question in post #1. In grammar books have you ever seen such a thing?

Do you mean like "He isn't going to work tomorrow, will he?" No, that is not possible. It must be "He isn't going to work tomorrow, is he?"
