Manan said that he had no work to do that day.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Manan said, “I have no work to do today.”
Given sentence: Manan said that he had no work to do that day.
In direct speech, we need to add commas and inverted commas, and the conjunction 'that' is removed.
First-person pronouns are changed according to the subject of the reporting verb. So, 'he' is changed to 'I.'
So, the final sentence is:
Manan said, “I have no work to do today.”
