Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Check statement (i).
\[ \text{I asked him not to do that.} \] This is grammatically correct.

Step 2: Check statement (ii).
\[ \text{I asked him don't be doing that.} \] Incorrect sentence structure.

Step 3: Check statement (iii).
\[ \text{I asked him he won't be doing that.} \] Incorrect reported speech.

Step 4: Check statement (iv).
\[ \text{I asked him, should he do that.} \] Incorrect grammatical construction. Therefore, incorrect sentences are: \[ (ii),\ (iii),\ (iv) \] \[ {\text{Option (C)}} \]
