Select the correct indirect speech form of the given sentence.
Mother said, “I’m worried about your safety.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Mother said that she was worried about my safety
Reporting verb = said → no change needed.
“I’m” = I am → Mother is the speaker, so I → she.
Tense change (direct → indirect):
Present tense (am worried) → Past tense (was worried).
Object of worry (“your safety”) → “my safety” if reporting by the child, but since the given form is neutral, we’ll keep your → my depending on perspective. Standard test answers usually change “your” → “my”.
Correct indirect speech:
Mother said that she was worried about my safety.
