She said to me, "Would you like some coffee?"
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Rules for transformation from direct to indirect speech:
Reporting Verb: Since the original sentence is a question, "said to" changes to "asked".
Conjunction: For Yes/No questions (starting with auxiliary verbs like "would"), we use "if" or "whether" as a connector instead of "that".
Pronoun Change: The second-person pronoun "you" changes to "I" to match the object of the reporting verb ("me").
Sentence Structure: The interrogative form ("Would you...") changes into an assertive form ("I would...") in indirect speech.
Indirect Speech: She asked me if I would like some coffee.
