A sentence is provided in indirect speech. From the four given options, choose the one that most accurately conveys the sentence in its corresponding direct speech.
She said that she would arrive before noon.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
She said, "I would arrive before noon."
Explanation:
Indirect speech:
She said that she would arrive before noon.
To convert into direct speech:
“would” remains “would” (since it's already the correct modal form)
Pronoun “she” → “I”
Remove “that”
So:
She said, "I would arrive before noon."
Other options:
shall / will have / had arrived → change the original meaning or tense
Hindi meaning:
उसने कहा, “मैं दोपहर से पहले पहुँचूँगी।”
