Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
Umesh said to his father, “Can you give me more money?”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Umesh asked his father if he could give him more money.
The indirect form "Umesh asked his father if he could give him more money" is correct because it properly converts the direct question into reported speech.
"If" introduces the indirect question, and "could" is used to maintain the appropriate tense for the reported speech.
This structure preserves the meaning of the original question and aligns with standard grammar rules for indirect speech.
The other options either misuse the tense or incorrectly structure the question.
