Correct Answer: Mona enquired of me if I was planning a trip to Disneyland.
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
Reported speech, or indirect speech, is the form of speech used to convey what was said by someone at some point in time.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb "asked" is changed to "enquired" because the given sentence is an interrogative sentence.
- The present continuous tense "are planning" is changed to the past continuous tense "was planning".
- The conjunction "if" is used in the case of the yes or no questions.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "Mona enquired of me if I was planning a trip to Disneyland."
