Answer 1

Hint:Phrase replacement indicates that something is wrong in the sentence or the phrase that needs to be correct. It could be spelling mistakes or framing of the sentence grammatically or subject verb agreement and etc.

Complete answer:
Here, in this question we have corrected the underlined part of the sentence.
Option A) Where has gone he – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of ‘where has gone he’ is grammatically incorrect answer “Can you tell me where has gone he?” and ‘has gone’ is a verb form of the present perfect. So, this is an incorrect answer and inappropriate answer for the underlined sentence.
Option B) Where gone has he – is an incorrect answer because the use of ‘where gone has he’ is grammatically incorrect answer “Can you tell me where gone has he?”. So, this is an incorrect answer and inappropriate answer for the underlined sentence.
Option C) Where he has gone – is the correct answer because ‘where he has gone’ is the grammatically correct answer and the use of this option is the best fit as ‘he has gone’ emphasizes on the action. So, the use of this option “Can you tell me where he has gone?” is the correct answer.
Option D) No improvement – this option is a void option because option C is the correct answer. So, this option is null or invalid.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:For a sentence to be grammatically correct, the subject and verb must both be singular or plural. In other words, the subject and verb must agree with one another in their tense. If the subject is in plural form, the verb should also be in plural form and if the subject is in singular then the verb should also be in singular form. So, Option C is the most appropriate answer as compared to any other option as the given sentence is a statement and not a question. Thus, there will be no question mark. Thus, Option C is the correct answer.
