Choose the most appropriate option to change the narration (direct/indirect) of the given sentence.
“Can you pay him in cash?” she said to me.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. She asked me if I could pay him in cash.

We need to follow certain rules for changing direct speech into indirect speech.

Can" should be changed into Could.

As in the two options we have could, option 3 will be correct.

The first option has the wrong used of pronoun.

So the chosen option will be correct.
