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.
Shreya said, "You guys may go, I am busy."

Correct option is A

Step 1: Identify the sentence type and tense
· The sentence is a statement + permission/suggestion.
· "May" changes to "was allowed to" or "could" in indirect speech.
· "I am busy" (Present Simple) changes to "she was busy" (Past Simple).
Step 2: Apply the conversion rules
· Direct: Shreya said, "You guys may go, I am busy."
· Indirect: Shreya said that she was busy and asked us to go.
Why other options are incorrect?
· (b) "Was busy so she asked us to go." (Incorrect because indirect speech should retain "said that she was busy").
· (c) "You go I am busy." (Not a valid indirect sentence).
· (d) "Being busy asked us to go." (Incorrect sentence formation).
