Explanation:
- A conversation between two or more people takes place in the Direct Speech.
- It is in the form of a Dialogue.
- In the given question a dialogue is given between two characters-Rajesh and Rakhi.
- When a dialogue is reported it is done so in indirect speech or reported speech.
- Instead of the emphasis created by punctuation in Direct Speech, emphasis is created by the reporting verb in indirect speech.
- Thus in reported speech the conversation is reported by initiating it with the reporting verb 'asked'.
- The tense aspect is also changed. All the sentences with present tense are changed to the past tense.
- Thus the reported conversation is : Rajesh asked (a) Rakhi what kind of a job (b) ..she was interested in. Rakhi told him that (c) she was interested in the Marketing or Administrative side. She had six years' experience in an American concern . He enquired (d) whether she would mind going to Italy. She replied that she would love to, if he could fix a meeting with the concerned person.
