Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

“Hello”, he said to his friend. “What can I do for you?"

He greeted his friend and asked what he could do for him

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

He greeted his friend and asked what he could do for him.

The other options are incorrect:

• He said hello and asked his friend what can do for him - This is incorrect because the modal verb "can" in the reported speech is in the present tense, but the reporting verb "said" is in the past tense.
• He asked and greeted his friend that what he can do for him - This is incorrect because the word order in the reported speech is incorrect. The correct word order would be "what he could do for him".
• He told hello and asked his friend what he could do for him - This is incorrect because the verb "told" suggests that the speaker was informing his friend of something, but the original sentence is a question.
