The teachers were talking about a trip to see castles and the students were wondering _____________.
A) Why to go.
B) Where they go?

D) What were they?

Answer 1

Hint:Assertive sentence is a sentence that makes a statement or assertion is called an assertive or declarative sentence. Assertive sentences end with a period. For example: He likes to play chess.

Complete answer:
Option A) Why to go – is an incorrect answer because ‘why to go’ means asking the reason to visit that place and does not define the time frame. So, using ‘why to go’ is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Where they go? – is an incorrect answer because ‘where to go’ means asking which place to go and this statement does not give the time frame of the said activity. Thus, using ‘where they go’ does not fit meaningfully in the sentence, thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) When it was. – is the correct answer because ‘when it was’ means asking about the time may be date or month. Thus, the use of ‘when it was’ is the most appropriate answer and gives the complete meaning in the sentence. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option D) What were they? – is an incorrect answer because ‘what were they?’ means asking a question about what type of castle and this does not fit in the sentence meaningfully. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘C’.

Note: Following the syntax of assertive sentences, option C is the correct answer, having the interrogative adverb of time or question word followed by the pronoun and then the verb.
