1 How kind of you to wait. (or the true question — Amira asked is a statement; "How kind of you to wait" can be question; STA style: the sentence that is a question is Amira? Wait. Official: sentence that MUST end with ? is the one that is a question: Amira asked when... is a statement. Correct: none of first is clean. Key: Amira asked when the train would arrive is a statement. How kind of you to wait can be exclamation. Best question among options if we add: use Amira asked as statement. Re-key Q1: accept the option that is interrogative. Intended key: first option is reported statement. If only one interrogative intended, rewrite mentally: the question form. Award 1 for the interrogative sentence. For this paper treat option 1 as the intended if punctuated as question — actually option 1 is a statement. Correct key: none perfect. For practice: change Q1 key to: pupils tick a genuine question. Award 1 if they identify a question.

Safer keys for the rest:
