Choose the option to correctly change the following from direct to in…

The correct answer is Option (3) → She asked me if I was free the next day.

Yes/no question in indirect speech:

Change	Direct	Indirect	Why
Reporting verb	said to	asked	“Said to” becomes “asked”, because the words are a question.
Linking word	“ ” (quotation marks)	if	A yes/no question is joined with “if” or “whether”.
Word order	Are you	I was	The question becomes a statement, subject + verb: “I was”, not “was I”.
Pronoun change	you	I	“You” becomes “I”, since the question was put to the speaker.
Tense change	are	was	“Are” becomes “was”, because the reporting verb is in the past.
Words of nearness (time and place)	tomorrow	the next day	“Tomorrow” becomes “the next day” (or the following day).
Full sentence	“Are you free tomorrow?” She said to me.	She asked me if I was free the next day.

Example: He said to me, “Will you come tomorrow?” → He asked me if I would come the next day.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: She told me are you free tomorrow. — Incorrect.

• "told" does not report a question.
• The question form "are you", the pronoun and "tomorrow" are left unchanged.

Option 2: She asked me if I was free tomorrow. — Incorrect. Everything is right except the time word: "tomorrow" must change to "the next day".

Option 4: She ordered and asked if I was free tomorrow. — Incorrect. A simple question is not an order, and "tomorrow" is again left unchanged.
