व्याकरण विश्लेषण व नियम:
दिलेले वाक्य: *'"Where do you want to go now ?" he said to me.'*
Wh- प्रश्नाचे Indirect रूपांतर व स्वीकार्य प्रकार:
1.
Direct वाक्यात 'Where do you want to go now ?' हा Wh- प्रश्न आहे.
2.
रूपांतरणाचे मूलभूत नियम:
•
'Where' हाच जोडशब्द राहील.
•
'do you want' (Simple Present) चे विधानात्मक साध्या भूतकाळात 'I wanted' होईल ('you' चे 'I' होईल).
•
'now' चे रूपांतर 'then' मध्ये होईल.
3.
विधान b: *"He asked me where I wanted to go then."*
•
हे मानक इंग्रजी व्याकरणातील पारंपारिक व अचूक Indirect रूप आहे (`asked me + where + I wanted + then`).
4.
विधान d: *"He questioned me about where I wanted to go then."*
•
संभाषणात्मक व आधुनिक इंग्रजीत 'questioned me about where...' ही रचना देखील पूर्णतः व्याकरणशुद्ध व अधिकृतपणे स्वीकारार्ह मानली जाते.
5.
विधाने a आणि c चुकीची आहेत (a मध्ये 'Where' गाळले आहे, c मध्ये Wh- प्रश्नात 'whether' वापरले आहे).
6.
त्यामुळे विधाने b आणि d ही दोन्ही बरोबर आहेत (पर्याय २: Both b and d).

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option 2 (Both b and d)
Grammatical Analysis & Structural Variants in Reporting Wh- Questions:
Given Direct Speech: *'"Where do you want to go now ?" he said to me.'*
Rules for Conversion:
1.
Core Deictic and Tense Shifts:
•
Interrogative adverb: where
•
Pronoun: *you* shifts to addressee I.
•
Tense: Simple Present *do you want* backshifts to Simple Past wanted.
•
Temporal adverbial: Proximal now shifts to distal then.
2.
Analysis of Valid Constructions:
•
Statement b: *"He asked me where I wanted to go then."* $\rightarrow$ Classical standard indirect question format.
•
Statement d: *"He questioned me about where I wanted to go then."* $\rightarrow$ Legitimate reporting construction using the verb *questioned* with a prepositional wh-clause complement.
3.
Why (a) and (c) are incorrect:
•
Statement (a) drops the interrogative operator *where*.
•
Statement (c) substitutes the polar conjunction *whether* for the wh-word *where*.
4.
Thus, both (b) and (d) are grammatically acceptable, matching Option 2.
