Question 1
1 / -0

Change the following statement into indirect speech.
Richard said, "Where does she live?"

A
Richard said that where does she live.

B
Richard asked that where does she live.

C
Richard asked where she lived.

D
Richard asked where did she live.

Solution

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).
In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.
In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.
Option C is correct as the question in the inverted commas is in the simple present tense, so, 'lived' is used.
Options A, B, and D are wrong as 'said' cannot be used, 'that' is not required and 'did' cannot be used respectively.
The correct answer is C)Richard asked where she lived.
Question 2
1 / -0

Change the following statement into passive voice:
The king gave him a reward.

A
He was given by the king a reward.

B
He was given a reward by the king.

C
He were given a reward by the king.

D
A reward was given by him to the king.

Solution

The given sentence is in the active voice, as the subject 'The king' performs an action 'gave' against the object 'a reward'.
If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So, the object takes the place of the subject and vice versa and the word 'by' is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the object. The verb form of the sentence is also changed from active form to passive.

'Subject (The king) + verb (gave) + indirect object (him) + direct object (a reward)' changes to:
'New subject (He) + verb (was given) + direct object (a reward) + by + new object (the king)'
This can be seen in option B, hence it's the right answer.
('He' is the subject form of the object pronoun 'him'.)

Option A: The words 'he was given by the king' means that the king gave him to someone else. 'He' becomes the receiver of the action 'was given' whereas 'he', an indirect object, receives the direct object 'reward'.
Option C: Similarly, in this option, the person 'he' is receiving the action. Also, 'were' is a plural verb whereas 'he' is singular. The subject and verb must agree in terms of number.
Option D: The sentence has changed in meaning. The reward was given by the king. But here, the sentence means that 'the reward was given by him' instead.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Dileep said, "Where is the station?"

A
Dileep asked where was the station.

B
Dileep asked where the station was.

C
Dileep told where the station was.

D
Dileep said where the station was.

Solution

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).
In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.
In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.
Option B is correct as the question in the inverted commas is in the simple present tense, so, 'lived' is used.
Options A, C, and D are wrong as the sentence structure is wrong, 'told' cannot be used,'said' is not transformed respectively.
The correct answer is B)Dileep asked where the station was.

1 / -0

In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.
Option C is correct as the question in the inverted commas is in the simple past tense, the appropriate introductory verb 'asked' is used, and 'if' is used to connect the two clauses.
Options A, B, and D are wrong as 'that' cannot be used, 'told' is not the appropriate introductory verb, and 'he' gives a different meaning to the question respectively.
