Question

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
Do you know where does she reside?

A.

where does she resides?

B.

where she reside?

C.

where she resides?

D.

where do she reside?

Correct option is C

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (c) where she resides.
Explanation:
· In indirect questions (embedded questions), the word order follows a statement structure rather than a question structure. The auxiliary verb does is not used because the question is already introduced by Do you know.
· The correct sentence is: Do you know where she resides?
· Here, resides is correct because it agrees with the third-person singular subject ( she).
Grammatical rule used:
· In indirect questions, we do not use auxiliary verbs like does/did after where, what, why, etc. Instead, we follow the subject-verb-object structure.
Example: Incorrect: Can you tell me what does he want? Correct: Can you tell me what he wants?
Why other options are incorrect:
· (a) where does she resides?: Incorrect because does should not be used with the third-person singular form ( resides).
· (b) where she reside?: Incorrect because reside does not agree with the singular subject ( she).
· (d) where do she reside?: Incorrect because do is grammatically incorrect for the singular subject ( she).
