Explanation
Correct Answer: Sanvi said to Prakash, "The coach announced that practice would be cancelled for the rest of the week due to the flooded condition of the playing fields."
Explanation
• Reporting Verb: 'Told Prakash' changes back to 'said to Prakash' in direct speech.
• Tense Conversion: The past perfect tense ('had announced') in indirect speech changes to the simple past tense ('announced') in direct speech.
• Subordinate Clause: The phrase 'practice would be cancelled' remains in the passive form ('would be + V3') as originally spoken by the coach.
