Correct Answer: Rohan said to me, “Does Rohit still cry?”
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
In reported or indirect speech, when converting a question to its direct form, the tense, pronouns, and sentence structure may change.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb "asked" is changed to "said".
- The simple past tense "cried" is changed to the simple present tense "cry".
- The conjunction "if" is removed.
- The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.
Therefore, the correct direct form is: Rohan said to me, “Does Rohit still cry?"
