Shikha said, “The heavy rain this week has spoiled all my travel plans.”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Shikha said that the heavy rain that week had spoiled all her travel plans.

Given sentence: Shikha said, “The heavy rain this week has spoiled all my travel plans.”

In indirect speech, we need to remove commas and inverted commas.

The first-person pronouns are changed to third-person pronouns, so, 'my' is changed to 'her'.

'This week' is replaced by 'that week'.

So, the final sentence is:

Shikha said that the heavy rain that week had spoiled all her travel plans.
