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).
