Which sentence contains an indirect quotation? a) bob and susan weren't home. b) bob told susan that he wanted to go shopping this evening. c) bob picked susan up from the store. d) bob listened attentively as susan talked.

The answer is B.

This is because it shows someone saying something, but it is what the writer has told us as an audience not a normal quotation that we see in a book.

For example, a direct quotation would be:

"Mom! I don't want to do my homework now!" Darren complained.

This is because we can see the exact words of what Darren said.

Whereas an indirect quotation would be:

Darren told his mom he didn't want to do homework now.

- Because we have to trust the writer what Darren said but cannot see the exact words.
