Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If no substitution is required, select ‘No substitution required’.
I asked Rahul that how far was his office from his home.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. how far his office was.
Explanation:
- Use of 'that' is not mandatory in indirect speech unless the sentence is typically complex. Hence, that can be omitted from the above sentence.
- The structure of Indirect Speech changes when converted from Direct Speech and so, 'was' appears at the last.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
