Exactly @Tony.

However there can be a lot of answers but we need to select the one which is the most appropriate which is B.

"How could she" is like saying something which is not to be done.

Where as "How she could" asking how she had done that.

According to rules of interrogative sentence how+sub+verb+object.

I agree with @sam.
Everyone who visited the house is more appropriate.

Why is option A not wrong, according to me it should be like everyone who visited the house asked.

How she could kill the wolf is right?

Because its not a interrogative sentence so according to rule.

Sub+Verb+Object.

What is the difference between these two sentences "how could she" and "how she could"?
Payal Biswas said:   10 years ago
Can't it be 'how did she kill the wolf'?

Can anyone explain me why the answer is not C. ' single handedly and without a weapon' ?

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