Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Bibiya asked the doctor, “Can I get the discharge in the morning?”.

 

Given sentence (Indirect speech): Bibiya asked the doctor if she could get the discharge in the morning.

Steps to convert into Direct Speech:

  • Reporting verb: "asked" remains the same (since it's a question, no need to change it).

  • "if she could" becomes “Can I” (original question format).

  • Pronouns: "she" (referring to Bibiya) becomes "I" in direct speech.

  • Keep the question format and use quotation marks.

Final Sentence (Direct Speech): Bibiya asked the doctor, “Can I get the discharge in the morning?”

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
