Answer 2

Answer:

Indirect speech

a. 'Jo returned with a toss of his head that he was not afraid of anything.'

b. 'The boy exclaimed with wonder that he didn’t believe him.'

Explanation:

In both the above statements, it is in the 'form of speech' reporting what someone had said while not using the actual words.

Therefore explicit quoting in the statements is not done but the idea of expressing what the person has to say is done skillfully.  

For example he said “I’m coming” is in 'direct speech' whereas 'He said he was coming' is 'indirect'.
