Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
I can't find my sister. Do you know _____________?

• A. where is she
• B. where she is
• C. somewhere she is
• D. is she anywhere

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

where she is

The given sentence "Do you know...?" begins with a question word 'Do'. The structure of the interrogative sentence is: question word (do) + subject (you) + verb (know). The second half of the sentence can be an object or complement of the verb 'know'.

Option B: 'Where she is' is an adverb clause ('where' is an adverb). It functions as an adverb and indicates location. Hence this option is correct.

Option A: 'Where is she' is a question on its own and does not function as a clause. Since there is already a question word 'do', we can't use another question to complete the sentence.

Option C: 'Somewhere she is' does not have a complete meaning. 'Somewhere' refers to a non specific place whereas 'where' asks about the place.

Option D: 'Is she anywhere' also has another question word 'is'. It does not complete the sentence.

Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
