Question

Which of the following sentences correctly forms a question?

• A. Can you tell me where is the conference room?
• B. Can you tell me where the conference room is?
• C. Can you tell me where located is the conference room?
• D. Can you tell me where does the conference room is?

Hint:

Indirect questions don't swap the subject and verb: "Tell me who he is," not "Tell me who is he."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Concept
When a question is embedded within another sentence (an indirect question), the word order follows that of a statement: Subject + Verb.

Step 2: Analysis
In the sentence "Can you tell me...", the main question has already used inversion ("Can you..."). The subordinate clause "where the conference room is" should use standard declarative word order.

Step 3: Comparison
- Option (1) incorrectly uses question word order ("where is the...") for the embedded part. - Option (2) correctly uses statement word order for the embedded clause.

Step 4: Conclusion
Option (2) is grammatically correct. Final Answer: (2)
