Select the option that expresses the given sentence in Direct Speech.
She said that she was learning French.

Correct option is B

The correct direct speech is (b).
Explanation: Indirect “she was learning” commonly reports a present-progressive utterance made earlier: “I am learning.” When restoring to direct speech, we:
· Revert the backshift where appropriate ( was learning → am learning) to reflect the likely original utterance.
· Change the pronoun she → I to match the original speaker.
· Use a comma and quotation marks after the reporting verb: She said, “…”
Why others are incorrect:
· (a) Simple present (“I learn”) does not match the progressive meaning of “was learning.”
· (c) Keeps past progressive in the quote, which would correspond to indirect had been learning, not “was learning,” if time-distance were intended.
· (d) Present perfect changes meaning to completion, not an ongoing process.
