Choose the correct indirect narration of the following statement from the given alternatives:
The manager said, "Will you attend the birthday party of my daughter please?"
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The original sentence is an interrogative sentence in direct speech, which also functions as a request due to the word "please".
When converting to indirect speech, the reporting verb "said" changes to "requested" to reflect the tone of the request.
The inverted commas are removed, and the sentence structure becomes assertive.
A conjunction "whether" or "if" is used to introduce the reported question.
The present tense "will" changes to the past tense "would" in indirect speech.
The pronoun "my" changes to "his" to agree with the subject "The manager".
Option A correctly applies all these rules.
