Answer 2

There are a set of rules that should be followed while converting a speech from direct to indirect speech.

Explanation:

• The correct answer is option B- Sunitha asked Venkat how much the rent for his flat was.
• Option A is wrong because it has "his rent", whereas in the direct speech we have "the rent" and "your flat".
• Option C is wrong because it has "he pays"; but in the direct speech we don't have "pay" in the sentence.
• Option D is wrong because it has "told" whereas it should be "enquired" because it is a question.
