C,

So what would have been the standard way to ask if he had been cleared
to the ramp?


"Confirm you have been cleared to..." or some such. Anything that is not
recognizable as a question by a change in inflection only.

Ah. And his reply would have been so much more clear. "Roger, confirm I
have been cleared to ramp."
