Correct Answer:
B. Asad greeted Ali and asked him if he was going that day
Correct answer: Asad greeted Ali and asked him if he was going that day. “Hello” is reported with “greeted”, and the question is reported with “asked … if”, with “today” changing to “that day”.
Background: A yes/no question in indirect speech uses “if” or “whether”.
- Asad greeted Ali if he was going today: “Greeted Ali if” does not report the question correctly.
- Asad congratulated Ali he was going that day: “Congratulated” does not match the meaning of “Hello”.
- None of these: “None of these” is incorrect because the second option is correct.
Did you know? Time words change: today → that day.
Memory trick: Hello → greeted; question → asked if.
