Which one of the following sentences is grammatically/meaningfully most appropriate/correct?

  • A.Who is the man in the funny hat over there?
  • B.Can you tell me what is your name?
  • C.My team and me drove through the desert.
  • D.There is a smallest hotel in the backside of my house.

Answer: A

The correct sentence is Who is the man in the funny hat over there?

It is a properly formed direct question with the verb before the subject.

The others contain errors. In an indirect question the word order is that of a statement: 'Can you tell me what your name is?' 'Me' cannot be part of a subject: 'My team and I drove'. And 'a smallest hotel' combines the indefinite article with a superlative, while 'in the backside of' should be 'behind'.
