Choose the correct indirect speech of the sentence:
She said, "Why didn't anyone inform me about the change?"
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
To convert a "Wh-" question to indirect speech:
Reporting Verb: "Said" changes to "asked"
Conjunction: In "Wh-" questions, the question word (in this case, "why") acts as the connector. do not use "that" or "if."
Tense Change: The Simple Past ("didn't inform") shifts to the Past Perfect ("had not informed" or "had informed" in a negative structure).
Sentence Structure: The question format (Verb + Subject) must change into an assertive format (Subject + Verb).
Direct: ...didn't anyone inform...
Indirect: ...no one had informed...
Pronoun Change: The first-person pronoun "me" refers to the speaker ("She"), so it changes to the third-person "her."
