Key Points
- The given sentence is a tag question. We use tag questions to ask for confirmation.
- A positive statement takes a negative tag and a negative sentence takes a positive tag.
- The given sentence is a positive statement and therefore, the auxiliary verb (am) from the positive statement is repeated in the tag and changed to negative (aren't I).
- Therefore, the negative tag 'aren't I' should be used in place of 'am'.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
