Question

Choose the correct form of the indirect narration out of the four options given below:-
Amit said to me, "What are you doing?"

A.

Amit said to me what was I doing.

B.

Amit asked me what I was doing.

C.

Amit asked me what he was doing.

D.

Amit told me what was I doing.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Amit asked me what I was doing.
Explanation:
1. The sentence is an interrogative sentence in direct speech, so "said to" is changed to "asked" in indirect speech.
2. The question form in direct speech is changed into a statement form in indirect speech.
3. The tense of the verb changes from present continuous ("are you doing") to past continuous ("I was doing").
4. The pronoun "you" changes to "I" to match the reporting person.
Corrected Sentence in Indirect Speech: Amit asked me what I was doing.
Explanation in Hindi: सीधा वाक्य (direct speech) में प्रश्नवाचक स्वरूप को परोक्ष वाक्य (indirect speech) में कथन के रूप में बदला जाता है। "What are you doing" को "what I was doing" में बदला गया।
Incorrect Options: · (a): Incorrect structure, "was I doing" is not proper in indirect narration. · (c): Incorrect pronoun "he" is used instead of "I." · (d): Incorrect verb form "was I doing."
