A sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect Speech. Out of the four given alternatives, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect/Direct Speech.
Priyanka said to me, "Can you give me your pen?"

The correct answer is "Priyanka asked me if I could give her my pen."
Explanation:
· In indirect speech, modal verbs like "can" change to "could."
· "Can you give me your pen?" → "asked if I could give her my pen."
Why are other options incorrect?
· “asked me can I give" – Incorrect because the question format is not maintained in indirect speech.
· “if I can give me your pen." – Incorrect because "me" should be "her."
· “if I gave her my pen." – Incorrect because "gave" is past simple, but "could give" is the correct change for "can give."
Corrected Sentence:
"Priyanka asked me if I could give her my pen."
Example Sentence Usage:
She asked me if I could lend her my book.
