Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".
Henry asked his wife (1) / what had she prepared (2) / for dinner that night. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The reason for the error is that in indirect or reported speech , the word order changes, and the subject she and auxiliary verb had should not be inverted as they are inverted in the interrogative statements. Here, the subject should come before the verb, as the question is changed into a statement.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Henry asked his wife what she had prepared for dinner that night."
