Choose the correct transformation of the given sentence in Indirect Speech:-

The teacher said to the boy, "Why don't you bring your books?"

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

In indirect speech, the question becomes a statement: 'said to' changes to 'asked', 'you' to 'he', 'your' to 'his', 'don't' to 'didn't', and the question mark is dropped. This gives: 'The teacher asked the boy why he didn't bring his books.'
