Choose the correct direct speech form of the following sentence.
He asked if I had been aware of the policies of the company.

Correct option is D

The correct direct speech is (d) He said, “Were you aware of the policies of the company?”
Explanation: The indirect asked if + past perfect continuous of be aware (“had been aware” expresses prior state) becomes a yes/no question in direct speech using the correct past form of be with second person: Were you aware … ? Pronoun shifts back: I → you. Word “ awared” (in option b) is incorrect; “ Was you” (in c) is ungrammatical; “Did you be**” (in a) is incorrect formation for the verb be with the adjective aware.
Rules of conversion (Indirect → Direct for yes/no questions):
· Replace if/whether with question word order (auxiliary before subject).
· Restore original tense as per context; with reported questions about a past state, were you is idiomatic.
· Use a question mark and quotation marks; the reporting verb is typically asked (though the options here use said).
· Example: Indirect: She asked if I was ready. → Direct: She said/asked, “ Were you ready?”
Information booster: For adjectives like aware/afraid/sure, questions use be + subject: “ Were you aware … ?” — not “did you be aware.”
