Choose the correct indirect speech.
She said to me, "May God bless you!"
Options:
- She wished that God might bless me.
- She prayed that God might bless me.
- She blessed me.
- Both A and B
Right Answer: Both A and B
The sentence expresses a wish or prayer. While changing such sentences into indirect speech, reporting verbs like "wished" or "prayed" are appropriate. The expression "May God bless you" becomes "that God might bless me" after changing the pronoun according to the context. Since both "She wished that God might bless me" and "She prayed that God might bless me" are grammatically correct and convey the intended meaning, the correct answer is "Both A and B."This question is part of English Grammar - Narration, which has 35 practice questions with answers.
