Question

Rewrite the sentence in indirect speech.
"Where do you live?", said the stranger.

A.

The stranger enquired where I lived

B.

The stranger enquires where I lived

C.

The stranger enquired where I had been living

D.

The stranger enquires where I have been living

Correct option is A


Explanation: The simple present tense in questions like "Where do you live?" changes to the simple past "where I lived" in indirect speech, and the structure is adjusted to fit indirect questioning without direct question formatting.
Grammatical rule used: Direct questions in present simple change to past simple in indirect speech, with the question format adjusted to a statement form.
Example: "What do you think?" he asked. -> He asked what I thought.
