Correct Answer: I asked Reena if she would like to join me in the Earth Day campaign I was planning.


Solution : The correct option is the third option.

Narration Conversion:

  • The verb said is changed to asked in the reported speech, as a question is being reported.
  • When the question statement starts with an auxiliary verb to form the question, if is used in the reported speech to connect the main clause to the question clause being reported.
  • The second-person pronoun you is changed to the third-person pronoun she in the reported clause.
  • The tense is changed from the present tense to the past tense in the question statement being reported.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I asked Reena if she would like to join me in the Earth Day campaign I was planning.
