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? "
