Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
He said to his friend, “ Let us leave for the trek tomorrow.”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. He suggested to his friend that they should leave for the trek the next day.
The indirect form "He suggested to his friend that they leave for the trek the next day" is correct because it accurately converts the direct speech into reported speech.
"Suggested" is used to reflect the proposal made in the original statement, and "they leave" correctly changes the direct imperative into reported speech.
Additionally, "the next day" replaces "tomorrow" to maintain the correct time reference in the context of reported speech.
This structure effectively preserves the original meaning while adhering to grammatical norms for indirect speech.
