Select the most appropriate direct form of the given sentence.
She says that she would like to be an ambassador to a foreign country when she grows up.

Correct option is B

Direct speech- Direct speech, also known as quoted speech or direct quotation, is a way of reporting someone's exact words.
Indirect speech- Indirect speech, also known as reported speech or indirect quotation, is a way of reporting someone's words or thoughts indirectly, without using their exact words.
· Option (b) "She says, 'I would like to be an ambassador to a foreign country when I grow up.'" is the correct answer.
Explanation with Rules:
1. Reporting Verb and Quotation Marks
· Rule: The reporting verb "says" remains unchanged when converting to direct speech, and the statement is placed within quotation marks.
· Application: The sentence begins with "She says," followed by the quoted speech.
2. Pronouns
· Rule: Pronouns should be adjusted to reflect the original speaker’s point of view.
· Application: "She" in indirect speech changes to "I" in direct speech because the subject is referring to herself.
3. Tense
· Rule: The verb tense in indirect speech often stays the same when the reporting verb is in the present tense. In this case, "would" remains "would," and "grows up" remains "grow up."
· Application: "Would like" is correctly retained, and "grows up" correctly matches the future intention expressed.
4. Direct Statement Structure
· Rule: Direct speech should correctly reflect the original meaning and tone of the indirect speech.
· Application: "I would like to be an ambassador to a foreign country when I grow up" directly expresses the original statement's intent.
5. Punctuation
· Rule: Proper punctuation must be used, with a comma after "says" and the sentence enclosed in quotation marks.
· Application: The punctuation is correctly used to frame the direct speech.
