Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.

Mr. Sharma asked him if Maya had invited him for lunch.

Mr. Sharma said to him, “Has Maya invited you for lunch?”

The correct direct form of the given sentence is:

Mr. Sharma said to him, "Has Maya invited you for lunch?"

This is because direct speech is the exact words that someone spoke. In the direct form, the subject and tense of the verb do not change.

The other options are incorrect because they change the direct form of the sentence in some way:

• Mr. Sharma said to me, "Has Maya invited you for lunch?" - This sentence changes the speaker from Mr. Sharma to the reporter.
• Mr. Sharma said to him, "Had Maya invited us for lunch?" - This sentence changes the tense of the verb from the present perfect to the past perfect.
• Mr. Sharma said to him, "Did Maya invited us for lunch?" - This sentence changes the auxiliary verb from "has" to "did."
