Select the most appropriate direct form of the given sentence.
I told Vinod that the plumber had forgotten his mobile there.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e. I said to Vinod, “The plumber has forgotten his mobile here.”
- This option is correct because firstly both the instances (answer and question) indicate the same tense form by using 'forgotten'. Secondly, the word 'here' has been used in place of 'there', eventually indicating the directness of speech. These features make this option accurate as the rest of the options either fail to portray the correct tense or simply gets the phrasings wrong.
