Choose the correct indirect (reported) speech for: She said, “Do you like tea?”
AShe asked that if I liked tea.
BShe asked if I like tea.
CShe asked if I liked tea.
DShe asked whether do I like tea.
Explanation
For a yes/no question in direct speech, the reporting verb changes to ‘asked,’ and the word ‘if’ or ‘whether’ introduces the reported question instead of ‘that.’ The question also loses its inverted word order and question mark, becoming a statement-like clause, with the verb ‘like’ correctly shifted back to the past tense ‘liked’ to match the past-tense reporting verb.
