Model Answer
(a) The doctor advised the patient that he must exercise daily to keep his heart fit.
(b) The patient questioned whether it was enough if he went for a daily morning walk and did some breathing exercises.
Explanation
- (a) "must" is retained in indirect speech as it expresses obligation/advice; "exercise daily" stays the same.
- (b) The direct question "Is it..." becomes indirect using "whether"; present tense "go" shifts to past tense "went" following sequence of tenses.
