Correct Answer: She asked me if I had ever flown a kite.
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
When converting from indirect to direct speech, consider the following:
- The reporting verb "said to" is changed to "asked" to maintain the interrogative nature of the sentence.
- The pronoun "you" (second-person pronoun) is changed to "I" (first-person pronoun).
- The conjunction "if" will be used to represent whether something is true or not.
- The present perfect tense is changed to the past perfect tense. "Have" will be changed into "had".
Therefore, the right answer is: "She asked me if I had ever flown a kite."
