Q1. Select the correctly reported form of the direct question when it is reported after the next day: The officer said to the male applicant, "Did you submit the form yesterday?"
A The officer asked the applicant whether he has submitted the form the previous day.
B The officer asked the applicant whether he had submitted the form the previous day. Correct
C The officer asked the applicant did he submit the form the previous day.
D The officer said the applicant whether he had submitted the form yesterday.
Explanation
सही उत्तर B है क्योंकि हां-ना वाले प्रश्न को परोक्ष कथन में 'whether' या 'if' से जोड़ा जाता है और शब्द-क्रम कथन जैसा हो जाता है। अगले दिन रिपोर्ट करने पर 'Did you submit' बदलकर 'he had submitted' होता है और 'yesterday' की जगह 'the previous day' आता है।
