Tag questions for passive sentences

Which is correct?

There has been no rain for the last couple of week, ....... ?

1. hasn't there

2. has there

3. has they

4. hasn't they

  

Top answer

If you're sure of the question's structure, then I would only choose (2). Because the sentence orgially was negative. So the tag question would expect to be positive.
