Explanation

The original sentence 'He confidentially asked the crowd if they thought he was right and the crowd shouted that they did' is grammatically correct. The 'that they did' clause refers back to 'thought he was right,' and 'did' functions as a substitute for the entire verb phrase, maintaining parallel structure. The meaning is clear: the crowd affirmed that they thought he was right. No grammatical correction is needed.
