[amp_mcq option1=”why was he” option2=”why that he was” option3=”why he was” option4=”that why he had been E. No correction required” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: E. No correction required.
The sentence “The assistant was asked that why he was generally late” is grammatically correct. The word “that” is used to introduce a subordinate clause, which is a clause that cannot stand on its own as a complete sentence. In this case, the subordinate clause is “why he was generally late.” The word “why” is a question word, and it is used to ask for a reason or explanation. In this case, the assistant is being asked to explain why he is generally late.
The other options are all incorrect. Option A, “why was he,” is incorrect because it does not include the word “that.” Option B, “why that he was,” is incorrect because it uses the word “that” twice. Option C, “why he was,” is incorrect because it does not include the question word “why.” Option D, “that why he had been,” is incorrect because it uses the word “that” twice and does not include the question word “why.”
