    Question

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in

    reported speech. She asked, “Are you meeting my partners next week?”
    A She asked about our meeting her partners next week. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B She asked if we meet her partners next week. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C She asked if we were meeting her partners the following week. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D She asked if we were meeting her partners next week. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In reported speech, we often need to change the tense of the original sentence to match the reporting verb. Since "asked" is in the past tense, the verb "are" in the original question should be changed to "were" to maintain the correct tense. Additionally, "next week" remains the same because it's a reference to a specific future time.
