Question : Select the most appropriate option to improve the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to improve it, select 'No improvement'.
I cannot recollect where did I leave my umbrella.
Option 1: I did leave
Option 2: I left
Option 3: No improvement
Option 4: I have leave
Correct Answer: I left
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
The sentence is structured as an indirect question within a main clause (I cannot recollect). When reporting a past action in an indirect question, the word order follows that of a declarative sentence, which is subject + verb + object . Thus, did should be omitted to make the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: I cannot recollect where I left my umbrella.
