Can you tell me why did you not speak the truth?

  • A.why did not you speak
  • B.that why did you not speak
  • C.why you did not speak
  • D.why did you not spoke
  • E.No correction required

Answer: C

It should read why you did not speak.

The clause after tell me is a noun clause, not a question, so it takes statement word order with no inversion. Did already carries the tense, so speak stays in the base form.
