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."
