SSC CPO Tier II - 8 Jan 2024 • English • Q48

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

The airhostess said to the passengers, “This is our inaugural flight starting today.”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. The airhostess informed the passengers that it was their inaugural flight starting that day.

The sentence "The airhostess informed the passengers that it was their inaugural flight starting that day" correctly transforms the direct speech into indirect speech by using "informed" to report the action and shifting "This" to "it" and "today" to "that day" to reflect the change in perspective and time.

This ensures the message remains clear and accurately conveys the original statement in a reporting format.
