Answer 2

Answer:

The man asked me if I knew where he lived.

Explanation:

The narration change means to change the speech of the sentence from direct to indirect.

• When we state the exact repetition of someone's words along with the speech marks like apostrophe then it's called direct speech. It is generally shown as dialogue.
• Example - Rita said, "Can we take the bus?" Arjun asked me, "Will you marry me?"
• When someone's speech is reported without speech marks or without usage of exact same words it is called as indirect speech. It is generally a statement.
• Example - Rohan asked us to get him a coffee. Asha said to her friend that a world war is nearing.

In this case,

1. There is an interrogative in the dialogue so, it needs to be changed in indirect as to remove the apostrophe.
2. It will become "If I knew", as the word Do will be omitted, you will changed into I and the verb form of know will change.
