Find the correct sentence in INDIRECT speech which matches to this sentence in DIRECT speech Mary asks, “Are you ok, Harry?”
Answer: B
Correct answer: Mary asks Harry if he is ok.
The reporting verb asks is present, so there is no backshift: are becomes is only because the subject changes from you to he. The vocative Harry becomes the object of asks, which is why naming him only in the if clause is not enough.
