SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 35

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Arjun said, “Do you want to join the job?”

• In this case, the reporting verb is "asked."

•  The reporting clause is "whether I wanted to join the job."

• Transform the reporting clause into a direct question:

• Change "whether" to "if."

• Remove "I."

• Change "wanted" to "want."

• Restate the sentence as a question: "Do you want to join the job?"

• Place the direct speech in quotation marks.

• Use a comma to separate the reporting verb from the direct speech.

Following these steps,the direct speech sentense is; 

"Arjun said, 'Do you want to join the job?"
