Explanation
The cook wanted to know whether the fish was fresh and was the meat tender
This sentence is grammatically incorrect because it mixes indirect and direct speech structures incorrectly.
Correct indirect speech would be:
"The cook wanted to know whether the fish was fresh and whether the meat was tender."
The phrase "was the meat tender" should be "whether the meat was tender" to maintain proper indirect speech structure
