Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: He asked them whether they would listen to such a man.
Concept: Indirect Speech for Interrogative Sentences.

Solution: Direct yes/no questions use conjunctions 'if' or 'whether' in indirect speech, changing statement order and shifting tense from 'will' to 'would'.

Why other options are incorrect:
  • Option A: Incorrectly uses 'that' with an interrogative reported clause.

  • Option C: Fails to backshift modal verb 'will' to 'would'.

  • Option D: Converts an interrogative question into an imperative request.
