Answer 1

Answer: (A)

उपरोक्त वाक्य के Inverted comma के अन्दर का भाग (Reported-speech) एक Assertive sentence है जिसका Indirect speech निम्न नियम से बनेगा। (1)Comma Inverted Comma के स्थान पर conjunction 'that' का प्रयोग होगा। (2) Reporting verb 'says' के object न दिये होने की स्थिति में इसमें कोई परितवर्तन नहीं होगा। (3) Reporting verb 'says' के present tense में होने से Reported speech के tense में कोई परिवर्तन नहीं होगा। लेकिन narration rule के अनुसार pronoun 'My' के स्थान पर 'Her' का प्रयोग होगा। Correct Indirect sentence - Priya says that her father is an excellent tennis player
