Change into indirect speech.
Direct: “Why don’t you listen to advice?” she asked me.

Correct option is D

Direct Speech:
• Direct speech gives the exact words of the speaker within quotation marks.

Indirect Speech (Reported Speech):
• Indirect speech reports the speaker’s words without quotation marks.
• In interrogative sentences, the reporting verb changes according to the type of question, and the sentence follows statement order.

Correct Answer:
• The correct indirect speech is option (d).
• She asked me why I didn’t listen to advice.

Explanation:
• The given sentence is an interrogative sentence beginning with “Why”.
• In indirect speech, “asked” is the correct reporting verb.
• The interrogative form “don’t you listen” changes into statement form “I didn’t listen”.
• The pronoun “you” changes to “I” according to the listener.
• No quotation marks are used in indirect speech.

Rules Applied in Conversion (Direct → Indirect):
• Reporting Verb:
o asked is used for questions
• Pronoun Change:
o you → I
• Tense Change:
o don’t listen → didn’t listen
• Word Order:
o Interrogative order changes into assertive order in indirect speech

Explanation in Hindi:
• Wh-question को indirect speech में बदलते समय asked का प्रयोग किया जाता है।
• Question form को statement form में बदला जाता है।
• “you” का परिवर्तन “I” में हुआ है।
• “don’t listen” का tense backshift होकर “didn’t listen” हुआ है।

Explanation of Other Options:
• (a): Interrogative order is wrongly retained.
• (b): “did I not” is incorrect in indirect statement order.
• (c): The reporting verb and tense usage are not correct according to the given sentence.

So the correct answer is (d)
