Choose the correct form of the indirect narration out of the four options given below:-
He said to them, "Will you listen to me for a while?"

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) He asked them whether they would listen to him for a while.
Explanation:
1. Since the sentence is a yes/no question in direct speech, "if" or "whether" is used to introduce the indirect speech.
2. The modal verb "will" is changed to "would" to reflect the change in tense.
3. The pronoun "you" is changed to "they", and "me" is changed to "him" according to the subject and object in indirect narration.
Corrected Sentence in Indirect Speech: He asked them whether they would listen to him for a while.
Explanation in Hindi: "Will you" को "whether they would" में बदला गया। "You" को "they" और "me" को "him" में बदला गया।
Incorrect Options: · (b): Incorrect as "told" is used instead of "asked," and pronouns are incorrect. · (c): Incorrect tense and pronoun usage. · (d): Incorrect as "ordered" is used, which changes the tone of the sentence.
