Correct Answer: Meena's mother asked her whether she would assist her to pack their belongings.
Solution : The third option is correct.
Narration Conversion:
- In the indirect form, the reporting verb asked is used to introduce the reported speech.
- The direct question is transformed into an indirect question, as the person is asking for assistance.
- Whether is used to connect two clauses in case of conditional questions.
- The perspective changes to reflect the speaker's request as reported by someone else. Hence the pronoun her is used for Meena.
So, the required indirect form would be: Meena's mother asked her whether she would assist her to pack their belongings.
