Roshan says, "I have completed my homework."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Reporting Verb: Since the reporting verb "says" is in the present tense, the tense of the verb in the reported speech ("have completed") does not change.
Pronoun Change: The first-person pronoun "I" changes to the third-person "he" to match the subject, Roshan.
Verb Agreement: The auxiliary verb "have" changes to "has" to maintain subject-verb agreement with the singular subject "he."
Possessive Adjective: The word "my" is updated to "his" to correctly reflect that the homework belongs to Roshan.
Indirect speech: Roshan says that he has completed his homework.
