Select the most appropriate option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech.
Megha asked Reena where she was going that day.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Megha asked Reena, “Where are you going today?”
The indirect speech sentence is in the past tense ('was going' and 'that day'), which usually changes to present tense and 'today' in direct speech.
When converting back to direct speech, 'was going that day' becomes 'are you going today.'
Option 1 correctly uses present continuous tense and 'today' instead of 'that day,' which matches direct speech.
Option 2 and 3 use past tense forms, which are not typical for direct speech here.
Option 4 uses present perfect continuous ('have you been going'), which changes the meaning and is incorrect.
