The given sentence is ‘Direct Speech’.

Direct Speech – Reporting the message of the speaker in the exact words as spoken by

him.

The given sentence is an ‘Interrogative Sentence.’

Interrogative Sentence – Sentences that ask questions are called interrogative sentences.

Every interrogative sentence ends with a question mark. There are two main kinds of

interrogative sentences. Those which start with an auxiliary verb and those which start

with a question word such as what, why, when, where, how etc.

While changing it into an indirect form, we consider following rules.

Reported Verb – ‘Asked’ remains unchanged.

Conjunction – In the Interrogative sentence, ‘If/ Whether’ is used as a conjunction.

Tense – Present Simple Tense into Past Simple Tense.

The sentence thus formed is – Vaishali asked her if she was a home-maker.

S10. Ans (b)

Sol. The correct answer is option b.

The given sentence is of ‘Active voice’.

The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.

In the given sentence, the subject is `I’ and the subject performs

some action/ some actions related to the subject.

(The act of insulting)

Now we have to convert it into passive voice.

Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does

nothing, but allows something to be done.

In the passive form, the object of the verb in Active voice becomes the subject of the

verb in the Passive voice. ‘By’ is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the

object.

The sentence thus formed is – Nobody was insulted by me.
