Answer 2

Indirect speech - Farhan asked Imran if he liked to read poetry.

EXPLANATION

• Indirect speech is a technique of reporting the content of someone else's speech without directly quoting it.
• The given sentence is interrogative in direct speech.
• To convert such sentences into indirect speech, the following rules are followed-

1. The interrogative sentence in direct speech is changed to assertive sentences.
2. The Question marked (?) is changed to a full stop(.).
3. All the quotation marks are removed.
4. The conjunction 'that' is not in the reporting speech for interrogative sentences.
5. The reporting verb such as - 'say', and 'tell', are changed to 'inquire' or 'ask".
6. For Open-ended questions, words like 'if' and 'whether' are used before the reported speech. For example - Reema asked Imran if he liked mangoes
7. For closed-ended questions, the words 'if' and 'whether' is not used and the question is only changed to an assertive sentence. For example - Reema asked Imran what he was doing.

Hence, the sentence in indirect speech is - Farhan asked Imran if he liked to read poetry.
