Detailed Solution

●        As the past tense "was" was changed to the second person question "are," the line "whether I was going to join" will now read "Are you going to join?" Because the word "asked" and the word "whether" are used, we can infer that it is a question.
●        Let's look at the given sentence again for the other changes. The phrase "The teacher asked me" can stay the same since it is not a part of the teacher's actual statement. The word "whether" will be dropped because the sentence has already been changed to a question. Since they are merely objects, the remainder of the subject matter will remain unchanged.
●        After the first verb in the sentence, place a comma before the opening inverted commas to punctuate direct speech. Depending on the sentence's kind, the conclusion should be punctuated. The closing inverted comma should then be placed after the sentence.
●        Therefore, the following will be the right response: The teacher asked me, “Are you going to join the medical course or the engineering course?”
