Choose the most appropriate option to change the narration (direct/indirect) of the given sentence.
Kapil said to his team, “If you don’t perform well in this match, you will not get a place in the team.”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Kapil warned his team that if they didn’t perform well in that match, they would not get a place in the team.

As we have to change direct narration into indirect narration we have to follow certain rules.

We have to change the tense of the reported speech into the past tense as the "reporting verb" is in the past tense.

  1. "don't" will be changed into "didn't".
  2. "will not" will be changed into "would not".

As in the only chosen option, these changes have been made it will be correct.
