Question

Fill in the blank with the appropriate tense:
They asked me where I _______ going.

• A. will be
• B. am
• C. was
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C was

Usually, the tenses in a sentence must be the same. The past tense in the principal clause must be followed by the past tense in the subordinate clause.

Option C is correct since the tense matches the past tense (asked me) of the main clause.

Options A and B are incorrect since the tenses do not match with the past tense of the main clause. A is in future tense while C is in present tense.

Option D is incorrect since the correct answer is C.
