She said to them, "Is not virtue its own reward?"
A: She asked them whether virtue was not its own reward.
Can you kindly explain that why we used whether in this sentence ? She said to them, "Is not virtue its own reward?". Is there any particular rule or how you understood that you need to use whether in this sentence ?
It would not be wrong to use 'if' here. But 'whether' is often used in cases where the speaker wants to emphasize that there are two very clear alternatives involved (eg Virtue is or it isn't its own reward.)
