Select the most appropriate option to change the sentences from Direct Speech to Reported Speech.

Question: - “What about going for a swim,” he said, “It’s quite fine now.”

Correct option is A

The correct option to change the sentence from Direct to Indirect Speech is (a) He asked me what about going for a swim as it was quite fine then.

• The direct speech "What about going for a swim?" is a suggestion in the form of a question.
• In Reported Speech, when a question is reported, we use "asked" if it is an inquiry.
• "It’s quite fine now" changes to "as it was quite fine then" according to tense change rules.

Grammatical Rule Used:

• Interrogative sentences in Reported Speech:
  • If a Yes/No question is asked, "asked" is followed by if/whether.
  • If a WH-question is asked, "asked" is followed by the WH-word.
• Tense Change in Reported Speech:
  • "It’s" (present) → "It was" (past)
  • "Now" → "Then"

हिंदी में व्याकरण संबंधी नियम:

• जब प्रत्यक्ष वाक्य (Direct Speech) में कोई प्रश्नवाचक वाक्य हो, तो अप्रत्यक्ष वाक्य (Indirect Speech) में "asked" का उपयोग किया जाता है।
• WH-शब्द (What, Why, When, आदि) को संरक्षित रखा जाता है।
• काल परिवर्तन (Tense Change) किया जाता है:
  • It’s → It was
  • Now → Then
