A sentence is provided in direct speech. From the four given options, choose the one that most accurately conveys the sentence in its corresponding indirect speech.
He asked me, “Did you submit your homework?”

The correct option is: He asked me if I had submitted my homework.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

To convert a sentence from direct speech to indirect (reported) speech, we follow specific rules of English grammar based on the reporting verb, reporting clauses, tense changes, and pronoun changes:

1. Reporting Verb and Connector:
The direct speech is an interrogative sentence (a yes/no question starting with the auxiliary verb "Did").
When converting a yes/no question into indirect speech:

• The reporting verb "asked" remains unchanged or is retained as "asked me".
• The question tag/mark is removed, and we use the conjunction "if" or "whether" to connect the clauses.

2. Sentence Structure (Statement Form):
In indirect speech, interrogative word order (Auxiliary + Subject + Main Verb) changes back to declarative/statement word order (Subject + Verb).

3. Tense Change:
The reporting verb ("asked") is in the simple past tense. Therefore, the tense inside the reported speech must change accordingly:

• The verb in direct speech is in the Simple Past tense ("Did submit").
• Simple Past tense in direct speech changes to Past Perfect tense in indirect speech ("had submitted").

4. Pronoun Change:
The second-person pronoun "you" refers to the listener ("me"), so it changes to the first-person pronoun "I".
Similarly, the possessive adjective "your" changes to "my".

Combining all these steps:

• "He asked me" stays "He asked me"
• Add connector "if"
• Change pronoun "you" → "I"
• Change Simple Past ("did submit") → Past Perfect ("had submitted")
• Change possessive "your homework" → "my homework"

Putting it together gives: "He asked me if I had submitted my homework."
