SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 14

SSC CHSL - 24 Nov 2025 - Shift 3 • English • Q14

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect voice.

'The workers will be installing the new equipment,' the supervisor said.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

To convert a direct speech sentence with a future continuous tense ('will be installing') into indirect speech, the reporting verb is in the past tense ('said'), so the tense in the reported clause must be changed. 'Will' changes to 'would' in the past tense equivalent, while the continuous aspect ('be installing') remains the same.
