Fill in the blank with the correct reported speech: She asked me ______________________

Aif I needed lunch

Bdo you come with me

Cdoes she visit this place often

Ddo you like pizza?

Answer:

A. if I needed lunch

Read Explanation:

  • This is the correct way to report a yes/no question. The original question might have been "Do you need lunch?" When reporting it, "do" changes to "did" or "needed" in the past tense, and the question is introduced with "if."
  • Here, "do you need lunch?" changes to "if I needed lunch" when reported.
  • do you come with me: ഇത് ഡയറക്ട് സ്പീച്ച് ഫോർമാറ്റിലാണ്, റിപ്പോർട്ട് ചെയ്ത സംഭാഷണമല്ല (not a reported speech). ചോദ്യരൂപം നിലനിർത്തിയതിനാൽ അത് തെറ്റാണ്.
  • does she visit this place often: ഈ ഓപ്ഷൻ തെറ്റാണ്, കാരണം ഇതൊരു direct question ആണ്, റിപ്പോർട്ട് ചെയ്ത സംഭാഷണമല്ല (not a reported speech)
  • do you like pizza?: ഇതും direct speech രൂപത്തിലാണ്, റിപ്പോർട്ടുചെയ്‌ത സംഭാഷണത്തിൻ്റെ ഫോർമാറ്റിലല്ല.
