Correct option is B
The correct direct speech is (b).
Explanation:
· Indirect: Taru asked Kavya if she would help her...
· Convert to direct question form: use
"Will you..."
· Pronoun transformation:
· “she” →
you (to Kavya)
· “her” (Taru in indirect) →
me in direct
· “her new...” →
my new...
Correct sentence:
Taru said to Kavya, “Will you help me in setting up my new dressing table?”
Grammatical Rule Used:
✔ Change in
pronouns and
tense reversal
✔ Indirect question → direct yes/no question
✔ Reporting verb “asked” becomes “said to” when reconstructing a question directly
��
Narration Rule Tip:
When changing indirect to direct speech in interrogatives, always:
· Restore
original question format (auxiliary + subject + verb)
· Adjust
pronouns according to who is speaking/listening
