Answers
Answer:
The option A is the right answer to question.
Explanation:
He asked is such a thing possible? The given sentence is he asked whether such a thing was possible. It is a indirect speech because the verb is available in past tense. The present tense is available in direct speech sentence. The first sentence has present tense. Hence the right answer to this question is option A.
Answer:
[C] He said "will such a thing be possible?"
Explanation:
Direct speech is the one in which we report the sentence directly that is in our own speech without changing anything in it. The statement is uttered by somebody from his or her own mouth or while narrating it his exact speech is quoted.
Indirect speech is where the speech is narrated in our own words and exact quoting is not needed. So as the given sentence was in the indirect speech, option [C] is the correct direct speech of the above sentence.
