Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
I asked to my brother to get my air tickets booked.

A.

my brother to get

B.

for my brother get

C.

to my brother get

D.

for my brother to get

Correct option is A

The correct option is (a) "my brother to get."
This substitution correctly maintains the structure needed in the sentence by directly linking the verb "asked" with the object "my brother" and the infinitive "to get."
In this construction, "asked" does not require a preposition like "for" when directly followed by an object and an infinitive, making it concise and grammatically correct.
Grammatical rule used: When the verb "ask" is followed by an object and an infinitive, the preposition "for" is not necessary. Example: He asked me to help.
