Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".
She enquired from the stranger (1) / who was he and (2) / what he wanted from her. (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
In reported speech, the pronoun and verb order in questions change. The correct structure for reporting a question is to write the subjective pronoun from the perspective of the person who reports, and the question in the present tense changes to the past statement. The original sentence incorrectly places "was he" in the same order as a direct question. The corrected sentence maintains the proper order of words.
So, the correct sentence is: She enquired from the stranger who he was and what he wanted from her.
