    Question

    Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
    Ankit said to Ashna, “Do you know that the annual meeting has been postponed?”

    A.

    Ankit asked Ashna that do you know that the annual meeting has been postponed.

    B.

    Ankit asked Ashna if she had known that the annual meeting was postponed.

    C.

    Ankit asked Ashna if she knew that the annual meeting had been postponed.

    D.

    Ankit asked Ashna if she would be knowing that the annual meeting had been
    postponed.

    Correct option is C

    The correct indirect form is "Ankit asked Ashna if she knew that the annual meeting had been postponed."
    · In the sentence "Ankit said to Ashna, 'Do you know that the annual meeting has been postponed?'" the direct speech is converted to indirect speech.
    · In indirect speech, the question format changes to a 'if/whether' structure, and the verb tense usually shifts backwards.
    · The present perfect "has been postponed" becomes past perfect "had been postponed" in indirect speech.
    · Additionally, the pronoun changes from 'you' to 'she' to match the perspective of Ashna being spoken about rather than directly addressed.
    · Therefore, the correct conversion is: "Ankit asked Ashna if she knew that the annual meeting had been postponed."
