Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
The teacher has said, “It is important to maintain personal hygiene.”

Correct option is A

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is "The teacher has said that it is important to maintain personal hygiene."
Explanation: When converting direct speech to indirect speech, we follow these rules:
1️. Check the Reporting Verb ("has said")
· The sentence uses "has said" (present perfect).
· If the reporting verb is in the present perfect, the tense of the reported speech remains unchanged.
2️. Check the Reported Speech ("It is important to maintain personal hygiene.")
· Since the statement is a universal truth (importance of hygiene), the verb "is" stays the same in indirect speech.
Correct Indirect Speech: The teacher has said that it is important to maintain personal hygiene.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· When the reporting verb ( has said) is in present perfect tense, the reported speech remains in the present tense.
· General facts or universal truths remain unchanged in indirect speech.
Explanation in Hindi:
नियम:
1. यदि reporting verb (has said) present perfect में है, तो reported speech का tense बदला नहीं जाता।
2. यदि reported speech universal truth या सामान्य तथ्य व्यक्त करता है, तो verb present tense में ही रहता है।
