Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech.
Shreya said, “I have been feeling very hungry.”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Shreya said that she had been feeling very hungry
- When reporting speech, especially in the past tense, we generally change the tense of the reported sentence.
- In this case, "have been" in the original sentence is changed to "had been" to match the past tense reporting.
Hence, the correct sentence would be Shreya said that she had been feeling very hungry.
