Correct Answer: Taru said to Kavya, “Will you help me in setting up my new dressing table?”
Solution : The second option is correct.
Explanation:
Direct speech, also known as quoted speech or direct discourse, refers to the representation of someone's words or statements exactly as they were spoken.
Narration conversion:
- The reporting verb "asked" is changed to "said to".
- The modal "would" changes to "will" to show the direct speech part.
- The third person pronoun "she" changes to the second person pronoun "you" and "her" changes to "me" and "my" respectively.
Therefore, the direct form would be: Taru said to Kavya, "Will you help me in setting up my new dressing table? "
