Usually, when you talk to your friends, you don't follow every grammar rule in the book. This is why spoken English is far more informal and flexible, giving room to slang. In the same way, with the exception of the first example, all the other sentences follow conventional Standard English grammatical rules. Only the first sentence shows a more conversational syntax (word order) being used. Therefore, the best answer is A.

On that note, we could infer that the first example sounds like how British speak, as they are known for their frequent use of tag questions.

Ket [755]
Aristotle‘s ideas about drama were based on a generally Greek belief that tragedy was the highest form of drama. He said that tragedy is an imitation of an action that is serious.

Thus, in Aristotelian perspective, tragedy tells about the high deeds or feeling of a man.

What is the best transition to add at the beginning of the third sentence?
seraphim [82]
Volunteering is a good way to gain skills and work experience. In a recent study, seventy-three percent of employers said they’d hire someone who’d volunteered. In addition, among employees who had volunteered, ninety-four percent said that it had benefited at work. Students looking to improve their resumes should consider volunteering. 

"In addition" seems like the best and most smooth-flowing in this case.
