Question

Choose the option in which Narration of the above sentence has been correctly changed.
The teacher said, “Rama, when will you complete your answer?”

A.

The teacher asked Rama when would she complete her answer.

B.

The teacher asked Rama when she would complete her answer.

C.

The teacher asked Rama when she would complete answer.

D.

The teacher enquired Rama when would she complete her answer.

Correct option is B


The correct indirect narration is (b) The teacher asked Rama when she would complete her answer.
Detailed Explanation (English):
• The given sentence is an interrogative sentence, so “said” changes to “asked”.
• “When” is a wh-word, so the reported speech becomes a reported question without question form (no inversion).
Correct pattern in indirect speech: wh-word + subject + verb.
• “will” changes to “would” because the reporting verb is in the past.
• Pronoun changes: “you” refers to Rama, so it becomes “she”.
• Possessive changes: “your” becomes “her”.
• The question mark and quotation marks are removed in indirect speech.
Grammatical Rule Used (English):
• said to → asked (for questions)
• Indirect question word order: wh-word + subject + verb (no inversion)
• will → would (if reporting verb is past)
• Pronouns change according to speaker/listener.
Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):
• प्रश्नवाचक वाक्य में “said” बदलकर “asked” होता है।
• Indirect question में inversion नहीं आता; क्रम होता है: wh-word + subject + verb.
• Reporting verb past में होने पर will → would हो जाता है।
• “you/your” का परिवर्तन listener (Rama) के अनुसार होता है: she/her.
Example:
Direct: He said, “When will you come?”
Indirect: He asked when I would come.
Why other options are incorrect:
• (a) Wrong word order “when would she…” (question form kept).
• (c) Missing article/possessive sense; incomplete expression.
• (d) “enquired” is not correctly used without “of” and also has wrong word order.
