She asked from me that I had seen the movie or not.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. me whether I had seen
- In the direct speech, "She asked" indicates a question was being asked.
-
The phrase "asked from me" should be changed to "asked me," and "that I had seen the movie or not" should be replaced with "whether I had seen the movie or not" to properly report the question.
-
"Whether I had seen" correctly introduces the indirect question about whether or not the movie was seen.
So, the corrected sentence is: "She asked me whether I had seen the movie or not."
