He asked me if I will accept his conditions if he helped me.

a) if I would accept

b) that if I will accept

c) that if I would accept

d) if would I be accepting

e) No correction required

Answer: (a)

The given sentence is in past tense. Hence ‘I will accept’ should be replaced with ‘I would accept’. Option (a) cannot be a correct because instead of ‘would’ it has ‘will’. Now, when an interrogative sentence is changed into an assertive sentence, we do not use “..........asked that”- rather we simply use 'asked'. Option (b) can be rejected.

The use of ‘would I’ in option (d) is wrong because such structure is used in interrogative sentence not in assertive sentence.

Therefore, option (d) can easily be rejected. We are now left with option (c), which is absolutely correct.
