They are correct.

1. Yes, we can visit Jane another day. We don't have to visit her on .... (the day previously suggested in the conversation).
2. No, we cannot visit Jane another day. We have to visit her on ... (...as above...).

The way the question is asked, the questioner shows he is hoping for Answer 1 and shows that he is hoping not to have to visit on the

We can’t visit Jane another day, can we?

1a- No, we can't.

1b-Yes, we can.

We can visit Jane another day, can't we?

1a-Yes, we can.

1b-No, we can't.

Are all correct and natural? Is the questioner hoping for 1a and 2a? can these questions be answered as short as this?

They're correct and mostly natural. Only the first 1b seems a little too short. It seems that a more natural answer might be something like "Well, actually, we can, if it's really important to you".

"She won't be late, will she?" implies some worry that she might be late.
I assume the speaker hopes the answer will be a reassuring "No, she won't" and not a disappointing "I'm afraid you're right. She'll probably be late as usual."

Thank you, Jim.

There is no context. It was asked in a nationwide exam.

"Which one is the question to this answer?" says the question.

The answer was declared to be A. But I think B might be a good candidate, too.

what do

Aha! I didn't understand that the order was reversed, and that one of the choices A or B comes before the header material in an actual conversation. A is the better answer, yes. B is not really so good.

"She won't be late, will she?" is asking for reassurance that she won't be late, so "Yes, I think so" would not be a very appropriate thing to say in response. A more appro

Thank you, Jim. I got it.
