Question

The boy asked his mother ________.

A.how old his father is B.where did she go

C.when will she buy him a football D.whether he could hold a party at home

Answer

D

【解析】

句意：这个男孩问他妈妈他是否能在家里举行聚会。

考查宾语从句。how old his father is他爸爸多大了，一般现在时，陈述语序；where did she go她去哪了，一般过去时，疑问语序；when will she buy him a football她什么时候给他买个足球，一般将来时，疑问语序；whether he could hold a party at home他是否能在家里举行聚会，一般过去时，陈述语序。宾语从句必须是陈述语序，故排除B、C项；主句是一般过去时，宾语从句必须是过去时的某种时态，故排除C项，故选D。
