Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
If you are having a normal conversation, then answer 2 could be too short and may be seen as rude.
If you are answering a lot of questions about her, like "Is she a lawyer?", "Is she a doctor?", and "Is she a teacher?", answering "No" to each would be fine.
For the question "Is she a teacher?" by itself, answer 1 would be more common.

No, she isn’t is better. No by itself is a bit abrupt. It’s not necessarily rude but it’s curt.

Both answers are common but I would use "No she isn't" if I was asked by a stranger or someone older than me.
I would answer with "No" if I knew the person well.
Answering with "No" is only impolite when said in a rude way.
hope this helps :)

@OffBrandHero @belazki @newenglandgenie @Maria_004 Except for "No, she isn't", Are there any ways of answering YES NO question? Could you give me some suggestions?
- English (US)
As someone else mentioned, if it’s a list of questions you can simply answer yes or no. There are other examples such as “Will Sarah be at the party? Yes, she will or No, she won’t.
