Indirect questions ...
- A.
A referred to, but not asked directly
- B.
Require a "brain" verb after the indirect question clause
- C.
Are asked directly
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. A referred to, but not asked directlyExplanation
Indirect questions are referred to, but not asked directly. This means that instead of asking the question directly, the speaker refers to the question indirectly. For example, instead of asking "What time is it?" directly, the speaker might say "Do you know what time it is?" In indirect questions, a "brain" verb is required after the indirect question clause. This is because the speaker is seeking information or knowledge from the listener. Therefore, the correct answer is that indirect questions are referred to, but not asked directly.Rate this question:
