Answer 2

He asked mill-wheel whether it would help him find him. -This is the answer.

About indirect speech:

• The sentence that is given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.
• When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed.
• The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly. So 'you' become 'is' because 'mill-wheel' is an inanimate thing.
• The given sentence is interrogative. So the question mark must be removed in reported speech we must used 'asked' because it is a question.
• Moreover as it is a yes/ no question we must use 'whether' after 'mill-wheel'.
• The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form. So the verb 'will' becomes 'would'.
• As we are changing question form to indirect form of speech, the noun will precede the verb. So it becomes 'it would'.
• Therefore the answer is: He asked mill-wheel whether it would help him find him.
