Choose the correct indirect speech.


She said, "Would you like some coffee?"

Options:

  1. She offered me some coffee.
  2. She requested coffee.
  3. She asked if I drink coffee.
  4. She ordered coffee.

Right Answer: She offered me some coffee.

Although the sentence is in the form of a question, its real purpose is to make an offer. In indirect speech, offers are reported using verbs such as "offered." Therefore, the correct transformation is "She offered me some coffee." The other options either change the intended meaning, use an incorrect tense, or fail to report the offer appropriately. Understanding the speaker's intention is essential while converting such sentences.
