Question:
He asked whether such a thing was possible. The direct form for this sentence is:
AHe said "Is such a thing possible"?
BHe said, "Was such a thing possible"?
CHe said "Will such a thing be possible"?
DHe said "Whether such a thing was possible"?
Answer:
A. He said "Is such a thing possible"?
Explanation:
The given sentence is in indirect speech, and it is converted to direct speech.
When we convert indirect speech to direct speech, we need to make some changes:
- We remove the indirect speech words like "whether", "if", etc.
- We use the person's exact words, which are usually in the form of a question or a statement.
- We keep the same verb tense (e.g., "was" becomes "is" in this case).
So, in this case:
- Indirect Speech: He asked whether such a thing was possible.
- Direct Speech: He said, "Is such a thing possible?"
