Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech.
"Is the door closed?" Alka asked Tarun.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Alka asked Tarun whether the door was closed.
Explanation:
- If the sentence of Direct speech has a question that can be answered by saying yes or no then it uses “if” or “whether” in its Indirect speech.
- As the sentence has a question associated with it, we need to add 'Whether' in the reported speech.
- 'is' changes to 'was' in a reported speech.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
