Well, I think it's only a matter of NARRATION CHANGE. If it was "How can you (here a girl) kill the wolf?" Note the question mark in the end. So when we do narration change of the quoted line we get HOW SHE COULD KILL THE WOLF. And the '?' has been replaced by full stop (.).

It is So, because modals always come after subject not before.

I think, the difference b/w HOW SHE COULD and HOW COULD SHE is due to grammatical form DIRECT and INDIRECT SPEECH.
"How COULD SHE know?" I inquired. --->>>>>>> I inquired how SHE COULD know?
Anyone suggest or correct me.

"killed the wolf" verb and we need adverb single handed to modify it ;) maybe or single is adjective and handed is an adverb modifying an adjective (single).

Answer is correct. Because could is past tense so the word kill is used.

What is the difference between these two sentences "how could she" and "how she could"?

How she could kill the wolf is right?
Because its not a interrogative sentence so according to rule.
Sub+Verb+Object.
