Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.
Anita said, “I am happy.”

Correct option is D

The correct indirect speech is (d) Anita said that she was happy.
Rules of conversion from direct to indirect speech:
· Remove quotation marks and use "that" to connect the reporting verb with the reported speech.
· Change the tense of the reported speech according to the reporting verb (present changes to past in this case).
· First-person pronouns (I) are changed according to the subject of the reporting verb (Anita becomes "she").
Structure:
· Direct Speech: Subject + said, “Statement.”
· Indirect Speech: Subject + said that + statement (tense change).
Example:
· Direct: He said, “I am tired.”
· Indirect: He said that he was tired.
Why other options are incorrect:
· Option (a): Incorrect structure for indirect speech.
· Option (b): Incorrect use of "was" without proper connection.
· Option (c): Incorrect word order.
