A sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect Speech. Out of the four given alternatives, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect/Direct Speech.
Umesh said to Ruhika, "Archana will leave for her native place tomorrow."

The correct answer is "Umesh told Ruhika that Archana would leave for her native place the next day."
Explanation:
· The given sentence is in direct speech (simple future tense: "will leave").
· In indirect speech, "will" changes to "would", and "tomorrow" changes to "the next day."
Why are other options incorrect?
· “will leave for her native place tomorrow" – Incorrect because "will" should change to "would," and "tomorrow" should become "the next day."
· “left for her native place the next day" – Incorrect because "left" is past simple, while the original sentence is in future tense.
· “would be leave" – Incorrect because "would be leave" is grammatically incorrect; it should be "would leave."
Corrected Sentence:
"Umesh told Ruhika that Archana would leave for her native place the next day."
