Correct Answer: The manager asked her whether she would accept the revised salary.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Narration Conversion:

  • The verb said is changed to asked , as a question statement is being reported.
  • The second-person pronoun you is changed to the third-person pronoun she in reported speech.
  • The question statement is transformed into an indirect question by using if and changing the word order.

Therefore, the required indirect speech is: The manager asked her whether she would accept the revised salary.
