Out of the four alternatives suggested select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect Speech.
He said, "Can you sing?" And I said, "No".
A He asked me that could I sing and I refused.
B He asked me if I could sing and I said that I couldn't.
C I denied, when he asked me if l could sing.
D He asked me if I could sing and I said no.
Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Direct- He said, "Can you sing?" And I said, "No".
Indirect - He asked me if I could sing and I said that I couldn't.
- He asked me if I could sing and I said that I couldn't. এটি সঠিক এবং সুসংগত কারণ এটি সরাসরি প্রশ্নকে 'if' দিয়ে indirect এ transform করেছে এবং উত্তরদাতার না বলার ঘটনাকে সঠিকভাবে "I said that I couldn't" ব্যবহার করে প্রকাশ করেছে।
