Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence: He did not know where was the book kept.

1. where the book was kept
2. where was the book
3. where did the book kept
4. where the book has kept

Correct answer: where the book was kept

Solution

The clause after "did not know" is an indirect question, so it should use normal statement word order: subject + verb. Therefore, "where the book was kept" is correct.
