Change the narration. 'Could I use your phone?'

The correct option is C: "She asked if she could use my phone." Explanation: The given sentence is in the form of a question, which means it is direct speech. To change it into indirect speech, we need to follow certain rules: 1. The reporting verb needs to be changed according to the context of the sentence. Here, the reporting verb should be "asked" as the person is requesting permission to use the phone. 2. We need to change the pronouns and verb tense according to the rules of reported speech. In this case, "I" becomes "she" and "could" becomes "can." Now, let's analyze the other options: Option A: "She said whether she can use my phone." This option is incorrect because it doesn't use the reporting verb "asked" and instead uses "said." Moreover, the word "whether" is not appropriate here as it is used to introduce indirect questions. Option B: "She told that she want to use my phone." This option is incorrect because it uses the wrong verb tense. "Want" should be changed to "wanted" to indicate that the request was made in the past. Option D: "She requested me to allow to use my phone." This option is incorrect because it uses the wrong preposition. "Allow to use" should be changed to "allow her to use" to make the sentence grammatically correct. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it follows the rules of reported speech and is grammatically correct.
