Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
Kavya said, “I have made a new painting.”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Kavya said that she had made a new painting.
Changes required:
Conjunction: “that” replaces the quotation marks.
Verb: “have made” (present perfect) changes to “had made” (past perfect) because the reporting verb "said" is in the past.
Pronoun: “I” changes to “she” (according to the subject "Kavya").
Converted sentence: Kavya said that she had made a new painting.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
