Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.
'I have been to Australia,' Amritha told me.

Correct option is B

The correct indirect speech is (b) Amritha told me that she had been to Australia.
Explanation:
· In reported speech, when the reporting verb is in the past tense, the present perfect tense ("have been") in direct speech changes to the past perfect tense ("had been").
· Grammatical rule used:
· Direct Speech: Subject + Reporting Verb + “Quotation”.
· Indirect Speech: Subject + Reporting Verb + Conjunction + Past Perfect Tense.
· Example:
· Direct: She said, “I have visited Paris.”
· Indirect: She said that she had visited Paris.
Why other options are incorrect:
· Option (a): "Being" is grammatically incorrect in this context.
· Option (c): "Tell" is incorrect as the reporting verb "told" should match the past tense.
· Option (d): "Has be" is grammatically incorrect.
