Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech.
She said, “It is too good to be true.”

Correct option is A

The correct indirect speech is (a) She said that it was too good to be true.
Explanation:
When converting a statement from direct speech to indirect speech, we follow certain grammar rules:
· Reporting verb "said" is in past tense, so the verb in the reported speech must also change to past tense unless the statement is a universal truth.
· "It is too good to be true." → becomes → "It was too good to be true."
Structure:
Direct speech: Subject + said + “Present Tense Sentence.”
Indirect speech: Subject + said + that + Past Tense Sentence.
Example:
Direct: He said, “She is kind.”
Indirect: He said that she was kind.
�� Information Booster:
Tense changes in indirect speech:
Present simple → Past simple
Present continuous → Past continuous
Present perfect → Past perfect
Will → Would
Can → Could
Why other options are incorrect:
· (b) “It were” – incorrect subject-verb agreement.
· (c) “She is saying…” changes the reporting verb unnecessarily to present continuous.
· (d) “She says…” uses present tense in reporting verb and does not match original sentence tense.
