• B. She said that she lived in Mumbai.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

उपरोक्त direct sentence का reported speech, Assertive sentence है अत: इसको indirect में बदलने के लिए निम्न परिवर्तन होगें। 1. Comma (,) inverted comm '' '' के स्थान पर conjunction 'that' का प्रयोग होगा। 2. Reporting verb past tense में होने पर Indirect speech में change करते समय Reporting speech के tense को Narration के नियमानुसार change कर दिया जाता है। 3. Narration के नियम के अनुसार Pronoun को भी change कर दिया जाता है। Correct Indirect Sentence– She said that she lived in Mumbai.
