    Question

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.
    "He promised, 'He will not do the mistake again.'"

    A.

    He promised that he would not do the mistake next time.

    B.

    He promised that he would not did the mistake next time.

    C.

    He promised that he will not do the mistake again.

    D.

    He promises that he will not do the mistake again.

    Correct option is A


    Explanation of the Correct Answer:
    · The given sentence is in direct speech, and we need to convert it into indirect speech.
    · "Will" changes to "would" in indirect speech.
    · "Again" can be replaced with "next time" for better clarity.
    · The correct transformation is: "He promised that he would not do the mistake next time."
    Other options:
    · (b) "would not did" → Incorrect; "did" is the wrong form after "would."
    · (c) "will not do" → Incorrect; "will" should change to "would" in indirect speech.
    · (d) "promises that he will" → Incorrect; changes the tense, which is not required.
    Thus, the correct answer is (a) He promised that he would not do the mistake next time.
