Select the most appropriate option to change the sentence from direct speech to indirect speech
"I took Rahul to office with me", he said.
He said (that) he ................... Rahul to office ...........

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) had taken/with him.

• When converting from direct speech to indirect speech, the past tense verb (in this case "took") changes to the past perfect tense (i.e., "had taken").
• The pronoun "I" in direct speech changes to "he" in indirect speech.
• The pronoun "me" changes to "him" in indirect speech, as it refers to the person the speaker is talking about.
• Thus, the sentence "I took Rahul to office with me" in indirect speech becomes: "He said (that) he had taken Rahul to office with him."

Grammatical Rule Used:
• Tense shift: Simple past ("took") → past perfect ("had taken") in indirect speech.
• Pronoun change: "I" → "he", "me" → "him".

Meanings of other options:
• (A) "Has to take/with me" – Incorrect tense ("has" should be "had") and incorrect pronoun.
• (B) "Had to take/with him" – "Had to take" is incorrect here as we are not dealing with necessity, but a simple action.
• (C) "Had took/with me" – Incorrect; "had took" is grammatically wrong.
