Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
I asked Rita that how far her school was.

A.

how far her school is

B.

that how her school is

C.

then how far her school was

D.

how far her school was

Correct option is D

The most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence is (d) how far her school was.
 The original sentence is in indirect speech, and it is a reported question. In indirect speech, we typically use the past tense when reporting a question.
No conjunction is used, if a sentence in direct speech begins with a question (how/what/where/when) as the “question-word” itself acts as a joining clause.
 Therefore, "how far her school was" is the correct past tense form.
 The other options do not accurately represent the correct tense or structure of indirect speech.
