Rewrite the following sentences using the words given in the brackets: a) He is too weak to lift the box. (so...that) b) Although he was tired, he worked hard. (in spite of) c) The boy who stole the money has been caught. (whoever) d) She said to me, "I shall help you." (indirect speech)

Answer

a) He is so weak that he cannot lift the box.

b) In spite of being tired, he worked hard.

c) Whoever stole the money has been caught.

d) She told me that she would help me.


Explanation:

  • (a) The sentence is rewritten using "so...that" to maintain the original meaning while changing the structure.
  • (b) "Although" is replaced with "in spite of" to convey the same contrast.
  • (c) "The boy who" is transformed into "whoever" to generalize the subject.
  • (d) The direct speech is converted into indirect speech by changing the verb tense ("shall" → "would") and adjusting pronouns ("I" → "she," "you" → "me").
