Correct Answer: You asked me if I would dance with you.
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
When transforming a direct question into an indirect question, it often involves changing the reporting verb ("said" in this case) to a more appropriate reporting verb like "asked" and adjusting the word order.
In the original direct sentence, "Will you dance with me?" is transformed into "if I would dance with you" in the indirect form. The word order is changed, and the reporting verb is updated to accurately convey the act of asking.
Therefore, the correct indirect form of the given sentence is: "You asked me if I would dance with you."
