    Default ...at / for the meeting, and was / wasn't rhere?

    No one was present at / for the meeting, was / wasn't rhere?

    I would like to confirm whether the sentence is wrong? I think it should be 'at' and 'wasn't? However, the answers are the other choices.

    Am I correct?

    Thanks.

    It could be either "for" or "at." I'd probably go with "for," since with no one there, technically there was no meeting for them to be "at."

    Your tag question is wrong though. If you really need one, it would be "No one was present for meeting, were they?"
