Select the most appropriate indirect form of the given sentence.
Deeksha said to me, “ You will prove to be a good artist.”

Correct option is B

The correct indirect speech is (b) Deeksha told me that I would prove to be a good artist.
Explanation:
When changing from direct to indirect speech, the following rules are applied:
· The reporting verb “said to” becomes “told” when followed by an object.
· The pronoun “you” (referring to ‘me’ here) changes to “I.”
· The future tense (will) in the reported speech changes to “would” because the reporting verb is in the past tense.
Rules of conversion:
· Simple Future → Future in the Past
· “will” → “would”
· “shall” → “should”
Example:
Direct: Riya said to him, “You will win the prize.”
Indirect: Riya told him that he would win the prize.
Why other options are incorrect:
· (a) uses “you will” – tense not changed, hence incorrect.
· (c) changes the subject meaning — “she” refers to Deeksha herself, not the listener.
· (d) keeps “will” unchanged — violates tense change rule.
