    Select the option that expresses the following sentence in indirect speech. She said to him, "I don't believe you."
    Question

    Select the option that expresses the following sentence in indirect speech.
    She said to him, "I don't believe you."

    A.

    He was not believed by her.

    B.

    "Do you believe him?" She asked.

    C.

    She said that she did not believe him.

    D.

    She said she don't believe him

    Correct option is C


    Direct Speech- it means reporting the message of the speaker in the exact words as spoken by him.
    Indirect Speech- It is speech which tells you what someone said, but does not use the person's actual word.
    · Given sentence is a direct speech.
    While changing direct speech into indirect speech following rules are to be followed:
    · Pronoun Change: "I" becomes "she" relative to the speaker, and "you" becomes "him" as it refers to the person spoken to.
    · Verb Tense: The verb "don't believe" in present tense shifts to "did not believe" to align with the past reporting verb "said."
    Option (c) is the correct choice because it accurately reflects the change from direct to indirect speech, keeping the content and grammatical structure intact from the original statement.
