Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.

Sanjeev said that he would surely succeed.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Sanjeev said, “I will surely succeed.”

Given sentence: Sanjeev said that he would surely succeed.

Comma and inverted commas are added and the conjunction 'that' is removed.

As the given sentence is in the simple past tense, it will be changed to the simple future tense.

So, 'would' will be changed to 'will.' 

'he' is changed to 'I.'

So, the final sentence is:

Sanjeev said, “I will surely succeed.”
