Question 1 Report

Fill in the gap(s) with the most appropriate option from the list following the gap(s).

The principal asked me _____ ?

Answer Details
The correct option to fill in the gap is "what my name was". This is a reported speech question, and the sentence is in the past tense, so the question should also be in the past tense. The correct word order for a reported speech question is "question word + subject + verb," which makes "what my name was" the correct option.
