Answer :
This question is on direct and indirect speech.
The given sentence is in direct speech.
Direct Speech : He asked me,"Is the world so poor that it cannot give me a toy and a book, instead of forcing me to take a gun or a tool ?"
Cambridge English Dictionary defines "direct speech" as "When you use direct speech, you repeat what someone has said using exactly the words they used."
The given sentence, correctly converted to indirect speech, is :
Indirect Speech : He asked me whether the world was so poor that it could not give him a toy and a book, instead of forcing him to take a gun or a tool.
Cambridge English Dictionary defines "indirect speech" as "the act of reporting something that was said, but not using exactly the same words."
