Choose the correct sentence. ?
Explanation
Choice A ("I asked Javed had he passed") is incorrect because it fails to utilize "if," leading to a direct question format that doesn't fit the indirect speech structure. Meanwhile, choice C ("I asked Javed if you had passed") incorrectly uses "you" instead of "he," thus distorting the subject of the sentence. Choice D ("I asked Javed that had he passed") is also incorrect as it improperly employs "that," which does not work for transforming questions into indirect speech.
Furthermore, after "if," the past perfect tense "had passed" is the appropriate verb form since we are reporting a past action regarding Javed. Thus, option B remains grammatically sound and aligns with the rules of indirect narration, making it the correct choice.
