SSC CGL Tier II - English 13th Sep. 19 • English • Q83

Choose the most appropriate option to change the narration (direct/indirect) of the given sentence.
‘Let’s not go out today. It’s going to be a hot day,” he said to me.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. He suggested that we shouldn’t go out that day as it was going to be a hot day.

If we change direct narration into indirect following changes should be made.

Said should be changed into Suggested because the statement is starting with "let's."

Inverted comma should be changed into THAT.

Present tense should be changed into Past tense.

As all the changes made in the chosen option, it will be correct.
