Answer 1

Answer:

D. He asked whether they would listen to such an advice

1. Reporting verb is "said" – followed by a question → it changes to "asked."

2. The direct question is:

   • "Will you listen..."

   • The tense of “will” changes to “would” in reported speech.

3. The pronoun “you” changes according to the context. If he is speaking to more than one person, "you" → "they."

4. Yes/No questions use "whether" or "if" in reported speech.
