Combine the following sentence into a complex sentence:
She kept on asking. When will her mother return?
Answer: A
The complex sentence is She kept on asking when her mother would return.
The question 'When will her mother return?' becomes a noun clause, the object of 'kept on asking'. Two changes follow from that:
- The question word order is dropped: subject before verb ('her mother would return'), not 'would her mother return'.
- Because the main verb is in the past, 'will' moves back to would.
The second option keeps 'will' after a past reporting verb, and the last two keep the inverted question order, which is wrong inside a reported clause.
