Question

Frame a ‘wh’ question for the given sentence:
Krishna got a tattoo.
a. Who got a tattoo?
b. Krishna got a tattoo, didn’t he?
c. What did Krishna get?
d. A & C both

Answer 1

Hint: Look at the given sentence carefully and try to understand which object/subject you can frame a question around. Then, proceed to choose the appropriate ‘wh’ word for the respective subject/object.

Complete answer:
The question asks us to frame an appropriate question.
This means that we need to construct an interrogative question. An interrogative sentence is a sentence that attempts to retrieve information and ends with a question mark. The sentence has to be constructed in a certain way for it to be considered grammatically correct. The construction is as follows: ‘wh’ word + verb + object.

Let us take a look at the sentence: The given sentence has two parts we could frame a question on. The subject ‘Krishna’ could be the potential answer to a question starting with ‘who’. The object ‘a tattoo’ could also be the potential answer to a question starting with ‘what’. This means that there are two possible questions.

Now, we know what we are looking for. Let’s look at the given options-
a. Who got a tattoo? - This is a grammatically correct question and it is constructed correctly. This asks the right question that the given sentence can answer. However, it is not the only right answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
b. Krishna got a tattoo, didn’t he? - This is not a pure interrogative sentence. It is a declarative sentence with a question tag at the end. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
c. What did Krishna get? - This is a grammatically correct question and it is constructed correctly. This asks the right question that the given sentence can answer. However, it is not the only right answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
d. A & C both - Both of the given options are grammatically correct questions and equally plausible answers to the given question. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.

Note:
 Read the given sentence carefully, and try to understand the meaning of the sentence. Make sure that the sentence is a pure question. Then, choose the option that you think sounds the most correct and fits perfectly into the given blank.
