Answer:

is the correct sentence

Answer 2

Answer:

Grandpa asked me what the time was by my watch.

Explanation:

• The comma and double quotation marks should be removed. If the reported verb is in the present tense, the tense of the sentence within the quotation remains unchanged.
• If the reported verb is in the past tense, the tense of the sentence within the quotation changes accordingly. Because the reported verb is in the simple past tense here, the tense of the sentence within quotation changes from simple present to simple past.
• 'Is' is changed to 'was'. ' 'Your' becomes'my.' Because this is an interrogative sentence,'said' becomes 'asked.'
• In linguistics, indirect speech is a grammatical mechanism for reporting another utterance's content without directly quoting it. Direct or quoted speech, as a type of transcription, is spoken or written text that reports speech or thought in its original form phrased by the original speaker. It is usually enclosed in quotation marks in the narrative, but in some languages it can be enclosed in guillemets. The cited speaker is either mentioned (Latin "he/she says") or implied.

Thus the correct answer is Option C.
