D. does the film begins

Answers With Explanation:

1. c) Why you had done this (In embedded questions or indirect speech, the subject comes before the verb (Assertive order). 'Asked' is past, so 'have' becomes 'had'. Embedded question-এ subject এর পরে verb বসে এবং reporting verb past হলে tense পরিবর্তন হয়।)

2. c) Where were you born? (Born is a passive verb (from 'bear') and is usually used with 'was/were'. 'Have/Had born' is incorrect for birth (active voice meaning). 'জন্মগ্রহণ করা' অর্থে always passive voice (was/were born) ব্যবহৃত হয়।)

3. d) do you know what his name was? (Note: Option 'c' "what his name is" is also grammatically correct if the context is present. However, the source key points to 'd'. In embedded questions, the structure is WH + Subject + Verb. এমবেডেড প্রশ্নে WH word এর পর Subject বসে।) 

4. d) the meeting was (Embedded clause structure: Subject (the meeting) + Verb (was). এমবেডেড প্রশ্নে আগে Subject পরে Verb বসে।)

5. d) Who does the book belong to? (Standard question format: WH + Aux + S + V + Prep? Or "To whom does...". Here option 'd' is correct conversational English. 'Belong to' is the correct phrase. কার অধিকার বুঝাতে belong to বসে।)

6. a) DU was founded (Embedded question after 'Do you know': WH (when) + Subject (DU) + Verb (was founded). Embedded question-এ subject আগে বসে।)

7. c) does the film begin (Direct question format: WH + Auxiliary (does) + Subject (the film) + Main Verb (begin). সাধারণ প্রশ্নে Auxiliary verb সাবজেক্টের আগে বসে।)

8. c) who he is (Embedded clause structure: WH + S + V. এমবেডেড ক্লজে Subject আগে বসে।)

9. b) did you say (Question structure: Who (Subject of coming) + did you say (embedded reporting verb) + was coming...? বাক্যের মাঝে 'did you say' বসিয়ে প্রশ্ন করা হয়েছে।)

10. d) did you have your hair cut (Causative structure with 'Have': Have + Object + V3. "Where did you have your hair cut?" (চুল কাটিয়েছিলে)। নিজে না করে অন্যকে দিয়ে করানো বুঝাতে Causative verb বসে।)

11. d) we were going (Indirect speech with past reporting verb 'asked': 'are' becomes 'were'. Order: Subject + Verb. Reporting verb past হওয়ায় tense পরিবর্তন হয়েছে এবং assertive structure হয়েছে।)

12. b) who he is (Embedded question: WH + S + V. এমবেডেড প্রশ্নে Subject আগে বসে।)

13. c) does it cost (Direct question structure: Aux + S + V. সাধারণ প্রশ্ন, তাই Auxiliary verb আগে বসবে।)

14. c) you are getting on (Embedded question after 'wonder': S + V. Wonder এর পরে assertive structure বসে।)

15. c) Mr Ali lives (Embedded question: Where + S (Mr Ali) + V (lives). এমবেডেড ক্লজ, তাই Subject আগে বসবে।)

16. a) you didn't attend (Embedded question: Why + S + V. এমবেডেড ক্লজ, তাই Subject আগে বসবে।)
