SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 16

SSC CHSL - 24 Nov 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q16

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect voice.
He said, "What are you doing today?"

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

In indirect voice, the reporting verb changes to 'asked' for an interrogative sentence. The tense of the reported speech changes from present continuous ("are you doing") to past continuous ("was I doing"). The pronoun "you" changes to "I" based on context, and the time expression "today" changes to "that day". The indirect speech also follows a statement structure (subject-verb-object) rather than a question structure, so "what I was doing" is correct.
