Question

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech.
Raghav said to Meera, “Are you upset with me?”

A.

Raghav asked Meera if she was upset with her.

B.

Raghav asked Meera why she was upset with him.

C.

Raghav asked Meera if she was upset with him.

D.

Raghav asked Meera if she was upset with me.

Correct option is C

The correct indirect speech is (c).
Rule Explanation:
• When converting a yes/no question into indirect speech, we use "if" or "whether" as conjunction.
• Change of pronouns and time indicators must be made according to the context.
• “me” changes to “him” as Raghav is the speaker.
• Question structure becomes statement form in reported speech.
Structure:
Direct: Said to + Person + “Helping verb + subject + verb…?”
Indirect: Asked + Person + if + subject + verb (past form if needed)
Example:
He said to me, “Are you happy?”
→ He asked me if I was happy.
�� Info Booster: In questions with “said to,” replace it with asked/inquired and change interrogative to assertive structure.
