Choose the correct indirect (reported) speech for: He said, “Would you like some tea?”

AHe asked if I would like some tea.
BHe asked that I would like some tea.
CHe offered if I would like some tea.
DHe asked would I like some tea.

Explanation

An offer phrased as a question using ‘Would you like…?’ is reported as a yes/no question, using ‘if’ or ‘whether’ to introduce the reported clause and reverting to normal statement word order, giving ‘asked if I would like some tea.’ The modal ‘would’ remains unchanged, since it is already a polite, somewhat fixed form similar to ‘would like.’ Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
