Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.
She asked her brother if he had liked her gift.
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. She said to her brother, “Did you like my gift?”

Changes required:
Conjunction – "if" is removed in direct speech
Verb – "had liked" → "did ... like" (simple past for question)
Tense – past perfect → simple past in question form
Pronoun – "her" → "my"
Others – Question form used correctly with auxiliary "did"

Converted sentence: She said to her brother, “Did you like my gift?”

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
