Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect voice.
The doctor said, If you exercise regularly, you will feel better.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The doctor said that if one exercised regularly, one would feel better.
The original sentence uses a general 'you' and an 'if' clause (a conditional sentence) which describes a general truth or advice. When converting direct speech to indirect speech:
The reporting verb 'said' is followed by 'that'.
The tense in the conditional clause typically shifts to the past tense ('exercise' becomes 'exercised').
The future tense 'will feel' shifts to the conditional 'would feel'.
The pronoun 'you', being general and not referring to a specific person, is best replaced by an indefinite pronoun like 'one' to maintain the general nature of the advice.
Option D correctly applies all these rules, making it the most accurate transformation into indirect speech.
