Q21. Choose the correct indirect speech.

The teacher said, "Do your homework."

English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)

Right Answer: The teacher advised us to do our homework.

Imperative sentences expressing advice are generally reported using reporting verbs such as "advised" followed by an infinitive. Therefore, "Do your homework" becomes "The teacher advised us to do our homework." Options B, C, and D are grammatically incorrect because they do not follow the accepted structure for changing imperative sentences into indirect speech.

Q22. Choose the correct indirect speech.

He said to me, "Please help me."

English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)

Right Answer: He requested me to help him.

The word "please" indicates that the sentence is a request. In indirect speech, requests are commonly reported with the verb "requested" followed by the object and an infinitive. The pronoun "me" changes to "him" according to the context. Therefore, the correct answer is "He requested me to help him." The remaining options use incorrect grammar or inappropriate reporting verbs.

Q23. Choose the correct indirect speech.

She said, "Where do you live?"

English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)

Right Answer: She asked where I lived.

An interrogative sentence beginning with a question word retains the question word in indirect speech. However, the sentence changes to statement order, and the present tense "live" changes to the past tense "lived." Therefore, the correct form is "She asked where I lived." The other options either keep the interrogative word order or fail to change the tense appropriately.

Q24. Choose the correct indirect speech.

The officer said, "Stand up."

English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)

Right Answer: The officer ordered him to stand up.

This imperative sentence expresses a command because it is spoken by an officer. Commands are converted into indirect speech using reporting verbs such as "ordered" or "commanded," followed by the object and the infinitive form of the verb. Therefore, "The officer ordered him to stand up" is correct. The other options either use an inappropriate reporting verb or incorrect grammatical construction.

Q25. Choose the correct indirect speech.

Ravi said, "I am busy."

English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)

Right Answer: Ravi said that he was busy.

When converting a declarative sentence into indirect speech, the reporting verb "said" remains unchanged, but the tense usually shifts back if the reporting verb is in the past tense. Here, "am" changes to "was" because the reporting verb is "said." The pronoun "I" also changes to "he" since it refers to Ravi. Therefore, the correct indirect speech is "Ravi said that he was busy." The remaining options either use an incorrect pronoun, incorrect tense, or an incomplete sentence structure.

Q26. Choose the correct indirect speech.

He said, "Alas! I have lost my wallet."

Right Answer: He exclaimed sadly that he had lost his wallet.

The interjection "Alas!" expresses grief or sorrow. While changing such exclamatory sentences into indirect speech, the reporting verb changes to "exclaimed sadly." Since the reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, the present perfect tense "have lost" changes to the past perfect tense "had lost." The pronoun also changes according to the context. Therefore, the correct indirect speech is "He exclaimed sadly that he had lost his wallet."

Q27. Choose the correct indirect speech.

She said, "Hurrah! We have won the match."

Right Answer: She exclaimed with joy that they had won the match.

The interjection "Hurrah!" expresses happiness or celebration. Therefore, the reporting verb changes to "exclaimed with joy." Since the reporting verb is in the past tense, the present perfect tense "have won" changes to the past perfect tense "had won." The pronoun "we" changes to "they" according to the speaker. Thus, the correct indirect speech is "She exclaimed with joy that they had won the match."

Q28. Choose the correct indirect speech.

The doctor said to him, "Take this medicine regularly."

Right Answer: The doctor advised him to take that medicine regularly.

This sentence is an imperative sentence expressing advice. In indirect speech, such sentences are generally reported using verbs like "advised" followed by the object and the infinitive form of the verb. The demonstrative adjective "this" changes to "that" in indirect speech. Therefore, the correct transformation is "The doctor advised him to take that medicine regularly." The remaining options contain incorrect grammatical structures.

Q29. Choose the correct indirect speech.

He said, "Can you solve this problem?"

Right Answer: He asked whether I could solve that problem.

This is an interrogative sentence beginning with the modal verb "Can." In indirect speech, yes/no questions are introduced by "if" or "whether." The modal verb "can" changes to "could," and the demonstrative adjective "this" changes to "that." The sentence also changes from question word order to statement word order. Therefore, the correct indirect speech is "He asked whether I could solve that problem."
Was this helpful?

Q30. Choose the correct indirect speech.

She said to me, "May God bless you!"

Right Answer: Both A and B

The sentence expresses a wish or prayer. While changing such sentences into indirect speech, reporting verbs like "wished" or "prayed" are appropriate. The expression "May God bless you" becomes "that God might bless me" after changing the pronoun according to the context. Since both "She wished that God might bless me" and "She prayed that God might bless me" are grammatically correct and convey the intended meaning, the correct answer is "Both A and B."
