Change the sentence from direct speech to indirect speech: "She said, 'Don’t the children like the cake?'"

Correct option is C

Explanation of the Correct Answer: · "Don’t the children like the cake?" is an interrogative sentence, so the reporting verb should be "asked" or "enquired."
· The question changes from direct to indirect without the auxiliary verb "do/don’t."
· "Like" (present simple) changes to "liked" (past simple).
Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (a) "Enquired about" → Incorrect; should be "asked."
· (b) "Didn’t like" → Incorrect; "Don’t" is a yes/no question, not a negative statement.
· (d) "Wondered why" → Incorrect; does not match the original meaning.
Thus, the correct answer is (c) She asked whether the children liked the cake.
