Directions:

In each of the following questions, a sentence has been given in direct/indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested select the one which best expresses the same sentence in indirect/ direct speech.

Question :26

"If you don't keep quiet I shall shoot you," he said to her in a calm voice.

Answer: (a)

Note that 'calmly' should refer to the voice or manner of conveying the warning and not to his state of mind (c) or her keeping quiet (d).

Question :27

"What did you eat for breakfast today?" the doctor asked the patient.

Answer: (b)

The use of 'whether' in indirect speech is wrong here as it suggests the meaning of 'if'. This meaning is not conveyed by the given sentence (in direct speech).

Question :28

Rohit said, "I need some money."

Answer: (d)

The given sentence is in direct speech.

Question :29

My cousin said, "My roommate snored throughout the night."

Answer: (d)

'Her roommate had snored' is essential in indirect speech as when my cousin said, the event of her roommate snoring throughout the night had already occurred.

Question :30

He said to her, "May you succeed!"

Answer: (a)

Options (b) and (c) would be incorrect if we keep the meaning of the given sentence in mind. For these to be correct, the sentence in direct speech should be: He said to her, "You might succeed."
