Choose the option that is the most appropriate conversion of the following sentence into Direct Speech. He exclaimed with regret that he had forgotten his wallet at home.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The sentence "He exclaimed with regret that he had forgotten his wallet at home" uses the phrase "exclaimed with regret." This indicates that the original direct speech likely contained an interjection expressing regret, such as "Oh no!" or "Alas!".
Option B correctly uses "Oh no!" to express regret and accurately changes the past perfect "had forgotten" in the indirect speech back to the present perfect "have forgotten" for direct speech.
