Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
The teacher says, "The Sun rises in the East.”

Correct option is A

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.).
Rules of Conversion:
· Reporting verb "says" is in present tense, so no change in the tense of reported speech.
· “The Sun rises...” is a universal truth, which remains unchanged even if reporting verb is in past.
Structure:
· Direct: Subject + says + “universal truth”
· Indirect: Subject + says that + universal truth (no tense change)
Hence, the correct answer is: The teacher says that the Sun rises in the East.
