Choose the correct indirect speech.
The boy said, "Good morning, Sir."
Options:
- The boy respectfully greeted the Sir.
- The boy wished the Sir good morning.
- The boy greeted the Sir respectfully.
- Both B and C
Right Answer: Both B and C
Greetings such as "Good morning," "Good evening," or "Good night" are usually reported by using verbs like "greeted" or "wished." Both "The boy wished the Sir good morning" and "The boy greeted the Sir respectfully" correctly express the meaning of the original sentence in indirect speech. Therefore, both options B and C are acceptable. Option A is less natural because the phrase "greeted the Sir" is not idiomatic English, making option D the most appropriate answer.This question is part of English Grammar - Narration, which has 35 practice questions with answers.
