SSC CGL 2019 PYQ — Question 97

SSC CGL Tier II English - 11/09/2019 • English • Q97

Choose the most appropriate option to change the narration (direct/indirect) of the given sentence.
My boss said, “Do you think you can complete the report within five days?”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. My boss asked me whether I thought I could complete the report within five days.

We need to follow some rules for converting direct speech into indirect speech.

Reporting verb "said" should be changed into "Asked" as the reported speech is in interrogative structure.

Only chosen option follows this change so it will be correct.
