Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence:

The mother asked the child, “Will you tell me who did accompany you to the airport?”

Underlined segment: who did accompany you

Accepted Answer

The original sentence is in direct speech: “Will you tell me who did accompany you to the airport?” When converting or correcting the sentence, the phrase 'who did accompany you' is grammatically incorrect in this context. The correct form is 'who accompanied you' because the question is about a past event (going to the airport). The auxiliary 'did' is unnecessary here and makes the sentence awkward. Hence, the correct substitution is 'who accompanied you'.
