Answer 1

Answer: (A)

उपरोक्त indirect sentence में conjunction के रूप में to का प्रयोग हुआ है। अत: इसका reported speech imperative sentence में होगा। इसमें निम्न परिवर्तन करना होगा- 1. Conjunction to के स्थान पर comma, inverted comma का प्रयोग होगा। 2. Narration rule के अनुसार pronoun आदि में परिवर्तन करेंगे। ३. बाकी part को यथावत रख देंगे। Correct indirect sentence– "Call me when you reach there", Bharati told Rakesh.
