A
Leaving the house he was seen by me.
B
He was seen leaving the house by me.

Narration

easy

I said to him, "Where will you stay?"
B
I asked him, "Where will you stay?"
C
I said to him, "Where will I stay?"
D
I said to him, "Where will I stay?"
Explanation and memory cue

The original sentence is in indirect speech: 'I asked him where he would stay.' To change it into direct speech, it should be: 'I asked him, "Where will you stay?"' because the speaker is asking about the other person's stay, not their own. The reporting verb 'asked' is appropriate here, and the pronouns and verb tense must reflect the original meaning. Option B correctly reflects this.
