Choose the most appropriate option to change the narration (direct/indirect) of the given sentence.
“You speak such good English!” said Mary.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Mary exclaimed that I spoke very good English.

We need to follow certain rules for changing a direct narration into indirect narration.

As the reported speech is in an exclamatory sentence we need to change said into exclaimed with.

Reported speech should be changed int the past tense.

As the chosen option has all the changes it will be correct.
