    The correct direct form of the given sentence is (b) Anu said, “I want to see if I can do a back-flip.”
    Direct speech- Direct speech, also known as quoted speech or direct quotation, is a way of reporting someone's exact words.
    Indirect speech- Indirect speech, also known as reported speech or indirect quotation, is a way of reporting someone's words or thoughts indirectly, without using their exact words.
    The following rules should be followed while converting an indirect speech to direct speech:
    · Use the reporting verb such as (say, said to) in its correct tense.
    · Put a comma before the statement and the first letter of the statement should be in capital letter.
    · Insert question mark, quotation marks, exclamation mark and full stop, based on the mood of the sentence.
    · Remove the Conjunctions like (that, to, if or whether) wherever necessary.
    · Where the reporting verb is in past tense in indirect, change it to present tense in the direct speech.
    · Change the past perfect tense either into present perfect tense or past tense, as necessary.
    · Pronouns will be changed accordingly.
    The reported speech is in past tense, so the direct form should be in present tense, retaining the original intent and first-person perspective.
