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.
"I have seen the film before," Babita said.

The correct answer is "Babita said that she had seen the film before."
Explanation:
· The original sentence is in present perfect tense ("have seen").
· In indirect speech, present perfect changes to past perfect ("had seen").
Why are other options incorrect?
· “Babita said that she has seen the film before." – Incorrect because "has seen" remains in present perfect, but it should change to past perfect.
· “Babita said that the film was seen by her before." – Incorrect because it is in passive voice, which is unnecessary here.
· “Babita said that she saw the film before." – Incorrect because "saw" (simple past) is incorrect; it should be past perfect.
Corrected Sentence:
"Babita said that she had seen the film before."
