I don't know the way. Do you? he asked.

  • A.He said that he didn't know the way and did I know it.
  • B.He told that he was not knowing the way, but wondered if I knew.
  • C.He said that he didn't know the way and asked me if I did.
  • D.He asked me if I knew the way which he didn't.

Answer: C

Correct answer: He said that he didn't know the way and asked me if I did.

The sentence contains a statement and a question, so it needs two reporting verbs: said for the first and asked for the second. Keeping did I know it leaves the second half in direct form, and reporting both with one verb blurs the two acts.
