Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
Raj said, “I may buy a new mobile phone tomorrow.”

Correct option is B

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 indirect speech is (b) Raj said that he might buy a new mobile phone the next day.
Explanation:
· The reporting verb is “said”, which is in the past tense, so the tense of the reported speech must be changed accordingly.
· The modal verb “may” becomes “might” in indirect speech.
· The time expression “tomorrow” changes to “the next day”.
· The subject “I” changes to “he” as per the speaker.
Conversion Rule:
· Direct: Subject + said + “may + V1 + object + tomorrow”
· Indirect: Subject + said that + he/she + might + V1 + object + the next day
Example:
· Direct: She said, “I may visit you tomorrow.”
· Indirect: She said that she might visit me the next day.
Hence, the correct sentence is: Raj said that he might buy a new mobile phone the next day.
