Correct Answer: Raghav asked Meera if she was upset with him.


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

Narration conversion:

  • "Said" is changed to "asked".
  • "Are" is changed to "was".
  • "You" becomes "she".
  • The question changes to a statement.
  • The two clauses are connected by "if".

Person's Rule:

  • The first person is changed according to the subject of the reporting verb.
  • The second person is changed according to the object of the reporting verb.
  • Third person, no change.

Therefore, the correct answer is: "Raghav asked Meera if she was upset with him."
