Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
Sita said, "Will he listen to the guard on duty?"
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:
Sita asked whether he would listen to the guard on duty.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
- Sita said would we listen to the guard on duty. The pronoun "we" should be "he", since the question is about whether one person will listen to the guard.
- Sita ask if he would listen to the guard on duty. The verb "ask" should be in the past tense, "asked".
- Sita said would listen to the guard on duty. This is not a complete sentence. It is missing the subject, "he".
