Choose the most suitable option to replace the underlined part of the sentence:
He asked me that where was the office.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer
where the office was
ExplanationThe original sentence 'He asked me that where was the office' contains two primary errors.
First, when using 'asked' to report a question, we do not use the conjunction 'that.' Second, like the previous example, an indirect question must follow a declarative word order. We must change the interrogative structure 'was the office' to the declarative structure 'the office was.'
Therefore, 'He asked me where the office was' is the correct construction.
