Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.
"She asked, 'Are you coming to the party?'"

Explanation of the Correct Answer:
· The given sentence is in direct speech and should be converted into indirect speech.
· In indirect speech, the question "Are you coming to the party?"
· "Are" changes to "was"
· "You" changes to "I"
· The correct transformation is: "She asked if I was coming to the party."
Other options:
· (a) "She asked are you going to the party." → Incorrect; retains the direct speech structure.
· (c) "She asked if I am coming to the party." → Incorrect; "am" should change to "was" in indirect speech.
· (d) "She asked if I can come to the party." → Incorrect; "can" should change to "could" in indirect speech.
Thus, the correct answer is (b) She asked if I was coming to the party.
