Choose the option in which the above sentence has been changed into Indirect Narration.
Ramneek will say, “I am going to Gulmarg.”

Correct option is A

The correct indirect narration is (a) Ramneek will say that he is going to Gulmarg.
Detailed Explanation (English):
• The reporting verb is “will say” (future).
• When the reporting verb is in the future, generally no backshift of tense is required.
• Pronoun “I” changes according to the speaker (Ramneek), so it becomes “he”.
• The tense “am going” remains “is going” because the subject changes to third person singular (he).
• Quotation marks are removed and “that” is used to join the clause.
Grammatical Rule Used (English):
• If reporting verb is in future (will say), tense usually remains the same (no backshift).
• Pronouns change according to speaker and listener.
• am → is (only because subject changes from I to he).
Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):
• Reporting verb यदि Future में हो (will say), तो सामान्यतः tense backshift नहीं होता।
• “I” का परिवर्तन speaker के अनुसार होता है (Ramneek → he)।
• “am” का “is” में परिवर्तन tense के कारण नहीं, बल्कि subject (I → he) बदलने के कारण होता है।
Example:
Direct: He will say, “I am ready.”
Indirect: He will say that he is ready.
Why other options are incorrect:
• (b) “was going” unnecessary backshift (reporting verb future).
• (c) “tells that” is not the correct reporting structure here (also unnecessary “will be going”).
• (d) “would” is wrong because reporting verb is not past.
