Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech.
She asked me what my favourite cuisine was.

Correct option is A

The correct direct speech of the given sentence is (a) She said to me, “What is your favourite cuisine?”
Explanation:
· The indirect speech sentence is a question involving a WH-word (what) and a verb in past tense.
· While converting to direct speech, we must return the verb to its original tense, which is present here: was → is.
· Also, “my” in indirect speech refers to the speaker (me), but in direct speech, it becomes “your” since it was she asking me.
Rules of Conversion:
· Change the reporting verb “asked” back to “said to” (when converting to direct).
· Restore the original tense from the backshift.
· Reverse the pronouns accordingly: my → your.
· Retain the question format in direct speech.
Example:
· Indirect: He asked me what my name was.
· Direct: He said to me, “What is your name?”
�� Info Booster:
In direct speech, WH-questions retain the question word + auxiliary verb + subject order.
