This is about a tag question.
The question is :
Either you or he has to go with me,_________?
I have to chose the correct answer from the following :
A)doesn't he
B)do you
C)isn't it
D)is it
I'll be glad to check your answer.
That's a very poor choice of sentence to include in an exercise or a test. Mixing the pronouns like that makes this impossible to answer. Whatever you choose is going to sound very awkward, and I doubt anyone in real life uses this construction.

Thanks for your answer and help! I also think it's a very weird question from my friend's English test. She didn't know the correct answer either.
To determine the correct answer to the tag question, let's break it down and follow these steps:
1. Identify the main verb: In this case, the main verb is "has to go."
2. Determine the subject and the person/noun involved: In the main clause, we have "Either you or he has to go with me." The subject of the main clause is "Either you or he."
3. Choose the appropriate tag question based on the main verb and subject:
- If the subject is a singular pronoun (e.g., he, she, it) and the main verb is positive, the tag question should be negative. It should use an auxiliary verb in the negative form, followed by the pronoun.
Looking at our options:
A) "doesn't he" - This is a valid tag question because "he" is a singular pronoun and the auxiliary verb "does" (in the negative "doesn't") is used.
B) "do you" - This is not the correct answer because the subject "you" is not a singular pronoun.
C) "isn't it" - This is not the correct answer because "it" is not the correct pronoun to refer to the subject in the main clause.
D) "is it" - This is not the correct answer because "it" is not the correct pronoun to refer to the subject in the main clause.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) "doesn't he."
The complete sentence with the tag question will be: "Either you or he has to go with me, doesn't he?" This tag question reflects the appropriate subject and auxiliary verb form based on the main clause.
