Answer:

options d) is the inn

the travellers asked me if I knew where____

Answer 2

The traveller asked me if I knew where the inn was.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The given sentence was reported in the indirect speech. Indirect narration involves reporting it in the own words of the speaker and doesn’t require word to word quotation.

So in this sentence, the tense has been changed while narrating the given statement in the indirect speech. Thus option (B) the inn was is right as it uses the past tense and changes the interrogative sentence into an assertive one.
