Correct option is D
The correct indirect speech is (d)
The surgeon says that I should get anesthesia for the surgery.
Direct Speech: When the exact words of the speaker are quoted using quotation marks, it is called direct speech.
Indirect Speech: When the speaker’s words are reported without quoting them exactly, it is called indirect speech.
Explanation:
· Reporting verb “says” is in present, so tense remains unchanged in the reported clause.
· “You” becomes “I” (assuming the speaker is the patient).
·
Rule:
· Present reporting verb → No backshifting of tense
· Direct: The surgeon says, “You should get anesthesia.”
· Indirect: The surgeon says that I should get anesthesia.
· ��
Information Booster: Pronoun changes are based on context (you → I, if referring to the speaker).
