Listening to the recording of cricket commentary from the past can be great fun. Especially, the last few overs, when the best players are gone, and the tailenders try their best to run between the wickets without getting out. This is when you realise that nothing much has changed, hasn't it?

Correct Option: 1
The correct option is 'has it?' which is a tag question that should mirror the auxiliary verb and polarity of the statement it follows. Here are the explanations:
- 'has it?' correctly mirrors the present perfect tense in the statement and inverses the polarity, making it the correct tag question.
- 'would it?' is incorrect because 'would' is a modal verb of conditionality and does not reflect the present perfect tense used in the statement.
- 'isn't it?' does not work because the statement is in the present perfect tense ('has changed'), not the present simple ('is changed').
- 'hasn't it?' incorrectly repeats the polarity of the statement, failing to form the standard inverse required for a tag question.
