Explanation:
The correct answer is 'B.' Key Points The error lies in the part "where was he going" of the sentence. The given sentence is an example of indirect speech. As we know the indirect narration is always in the assertive form. The 'was he' sequence of verb and noun is incorrect and must be 'he was'. Example: Direct: "When are you coming to meet me?" Ram said to me. Indirect: Ram asked me when I was coming to meet him. Correct sentence: I courteously asked him where he was going but he did not reply. Additional Information If the reporting verb is given in Past tense then the tense of the verb of Reported Speech will change into the corresponding Past tense. Example: Direct: The teacher said, “I am suffering from a fever.” Indirect: The teacher said that she was suffering from a fever.
বাংলা সাহিত্য ও ব্যাকরণ হলো বাংলা ভাষার দুটি অবিচ্ছেদ্য অঙ্গ। বাংলা সাহিত্য হলো বাংলা ভাষায় রচিত কবিতা, উপন্যাস, নাটক, গল্পসহ সৃজনশীল ও মননশীল রচনার সমষ্টি, যার সূচনা দশম শতাব্দীতে 'চর্যাপদ' এর মাধ্যমে। অন্যদিকে, বাংলা ব্যাকরণ হলো এমন একটি শাস্ত্র বা বিজ্ঞান, যা বাংলা ভাষার গঠন, প্রকৃতি, ধ্বনি, শব্দ ও বাক্যের নিয়ম-কানুন বিশ্লেষণ করে ভাষার শুদ্ধ রূপ ও প্রয়োগ শেখায়।
