Choose the correct indirect speech: Ahmad said to the magician, "What I have done to deserve so severe a blow"?

Explanation

The correct indirect speech is: Ahmad asked the magician what he had done to deserve so severe a blow.


Explanation:

In indirect speech, the pronoun "I" becomes "he" (or "she" or "they" depending on the subject), and the verb tense changes to the past perfect (had done) to indicate that the action happened before the time of speaking.
