Directions: The direct speech in Question 40 is rewritten as reported speech (indirect form)<br />
in the options below. Identify the grammatically CORRECT option.<br />
Q.40 The President said to the General. “Is your army well supplied? Is it ready for battle.”?<br />
(A) The President asked the General whether his army was well supplied and whether it was<br />
ready for battle<br />
(B) The President asked the General whether his army was well supplied and is it ready for battle<br />
(C) The President asked the General if his army is well supplied and if it is ready for battle<br />
(D) The President asked the General whether his army is well supplied and was ready for battle<br />
Solution:<br />
40. The answer is option (A). When you convert a question in direct speech to indirect speech,<br />
yes/no questions (whose answer is ‘yes’ or ‘no’) will have ‘whether’ or ‘if’ in the statement. In<br />
this case, both (A) and (C) have whether/if. Option (A) is the answer because in the 1st part (the<br />
President said to the General) the verb is in past tense. Therefore the reported speech will be in<br />
past tense.<br />

if true, would tend to STRENGTHEN the argument?<br />
