SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 11

SSC CGL - 12 April 2022 - Shift 2 • English • Q11

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech.

She said, “It is too good to be true.”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. She said that it was too good to be true.

Given sentence: She said, “It is too good to be true.”

In indirect speech, we need to remove commas and inverted commas, and the conjunction 'that' is added.

'is' is changed to 'was'.

'said' will not change as the sentence does not have an object.

So, the final sentence is:

She said that it was too good to be true.
