Correct option is D
Direct speech: The
exact words of the speaker are quoted, usually within inverted commas (e.g.,
She said, "I am tired.").
Indirect speech: The speaker’s words are
reported without quoting exactly, often with changes in pronouns, tense, and word order (e.g.,
She said that she was tired.).
The correct direct speech form is
(d) She said, "I am going to the mall with my sister."
Explanation:
· In indirect to direct conversion:
· “she was going” → becomes
“I am going”
· “her sister” → becomes
“my sister”
· Reporting verb “told me” becomes
said
· Use
quotation marks for direct speech.
Grammatical Rule Used:
While changing from indirect to direct:
· Adjust pronouns: “she” → “I”, “her” → “my”
· Tense shifts from past to present (if reporting verb is in past and original speech is present)
