Blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions.
“Where were you last night, Mr. Jenkins?” he said
A. He asked Mr. Jenkins where was he last night
B. He wanted to know where Mr. Jenkins was the night before
C. He wanted to know where Mr. Jenkins had been the following night
D. He asked Mr. Jenkins where he had been the previous night
Khi biến đổi câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp, ta phải biến đổi ngôi, thời thì, và các thành phần trạng từ. Cụ thể: you => he ( theo Mr. Jenkins);
were => had been ( thì của động từ phải lùi về một thì, tức quá khứ đơn giản chuyển thành quá khứ hoàn thành);
last night => the previous night ( tối trước) hoặc the night before.
Như vậy, đáp án đúng là D.
