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.
Ramesh said to me, "Where have you been last night?"

Correct option is D

· Correct answer: (d) Ramesh asked me where I had been the previous night.
· Explanation:
· The sentence is in Direct Speech (Interrogative form, past perfect tense).
· Conversion rules:
· "Said to" changes to "asked" for interrogative sentences.
· "Where have you been" → "where I had been" (change in tense).
· "Last night" → "the previous night" (time conversion).
· Example:
· She said, "Where did you go yesterday?" → She asked where I had gone the previous day.
