  • A Does the train leave
  • B The train leaves
  • C Does leave the train
  • D Leaves the train
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
In reported speech or indirect questions, the word order typically follows the statement form, not the question form. So, the correct structure here is:

"Could you tell me when the train leaves?"

"Does the train leave" is incorrect because it uses the question word order.

"Does leave the train" and "leaves the train" are not proper structures for this sentence.
