Help the terrified waiter recount his disastrous encounter with the head chef by choosing the correct words for the blanks.

Chef Gordon demanded to know ________ the soufflé, and immediately ordered me ________ his kitchen.

The correct answer is whether I had dropped / to get out of.

Direct yes/no questions ("Did you drop the soufflé?") are reported using "whether" or "if" followed by statement word order and a backshifted tense (whether I had dropped). Direct commands ("Get out!") are reported using an object + infinitive verb pattern (ordered me to get out of).
