The changes that will happen when we convert the given direct speech into indirect speech: Since the first sentence is in past form: In the reported speech, past indefinite should be changed to past perfect. The subject ‘You’ will be changed to ‘He’. ‘last month’ will be changed to ‘the previous month’ |
Thus, indirect speech will be: The interviewer asked Ashok why he had left that job the previous month. Hence, the chosen option is correct. |
