Choose the suitable Direct Speech of the following sentence-

He enquired whether his name was not Ahmed.

He said to him, "Isn't your name Ahmed?"

The correct answer is Option (2) - He said to him, "Isn't your name Ahmed?

To convert Indirect Speech to Direct Speech, follow these steps:

Given Indirect Speech Sentence:

"He enquired whether his name was not Ahmed."

1. "Enquired" → This indicates a question, so the Direct Speech must be in the interrogative form.
2. "Whether" → This suggests a yes/no question, typically starting with "Isn't" or "Is" in Direct Speech.
3. "Was not Ahmed" → Inverts to "Isn't your name Ahmed?" in Direct Speech.

He said to him, "Isn't your name Ahmed?

OTHER OPTIONS

• "He said to him, 'Your name is Ahmed?'" → Incorrect structure; it is not a proper interrogative sentence.
• "He asked him, 'Did your name Ahmed?'"  → Grammatically incorrect; "Did" is wrongly used.
• "He told him, 'Are your name Ahmed?'"  → Incorrect verb usage; "Are" should be "Is."
