Q11. Direction: Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow:
Mother, I am the one you sent away when the doctor told you I would be a girl - In the end they had to give me an injection to kill me. Before I died I heard the traffic rushing outside, the monsoon slush, the wind sulking through your beloved Mumbai I could have clutched the neon blue no one wanted No one wanted To touch me except later in the autopsy room when they knew my mouth would not search for anything and my head could be measured and bent cut apart. I looked like a sliced pomegranate. The fruit you never touched. Mother, I am the one you sent away When the doctor told you I would be a girl - your second girl. Afterwards, as soon as you could you put on your grass - green sari - the orange stems of the parijatak blossoms glistened in your hair - Afterwards everyone smiled. But now I ask you to look for me, mother, look for me because I won't come to you in your dreams, Look for me, mother, look because I won't become a flower I won't turn into a butterfly And I am not a part of anyone's song. Look, mother, look for the place where you have sent me. Look for the unspeakable. for the place that can never be described. Look for me, mother, because this is what you have done. Look for me, mother, because this is not 'God's will'. Look for me, mother because I smell of formaldehyde I smell of formaldehyde and still, I wish you would look for me, mother.

Q16. Choose the correct indirect speech.
Ravi said, "I am busy."
English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)
Right Answer: Ravi said that he was busy.
Explanation:
This sentence is in the simple present tense within the reported speech. Since the reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, the verb "am" changes to "was" according to the rule of backshift. The pronoun "I" also changes to "he" because it refers to Ravi. Therefore, the correct indirect narration is "Ravi said that he was busy." The other options either retain the incorrect tense or use the wrong pronoun and are grammatically incorrect.

Q17. Choose the correct indirect speech.
She said, "I like music."
English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)
Right Answer: She said that she liked music.
Explanation:
The reporting verb is in the past tense, so the simple present tense "like" changes to the simple past tense "liked" in indirect speech. The pronoun "I" changes to "she" because it refers to the speaker. Hence, "She said that she liked music" is correct. The remaining options contain incorrect pronouns, incorrect verb forms, or an inappropriate reporting verb, making them grammatically incorrect.

Q18. Choose the correct indirect speech.
He said, "I have finished my work."
English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)
Right Answer: He said that he had finished his work.
Explanation:
In indirect speech, the present perfect tense changes to the past perfect tense when the reporting verb is in the past. Thus, "have finished" becomes "had finished." The pronouns also change appropriately, with "I" becoming "he" and "my" becoming "his." Therefore, the correct indirect speech is "He said that he had finished his work." The other options violate tense or pronoun change rules.

Q19. Choose the correct indirect speech.
They said, "We are ready."
English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)
Right Answer: They said that they were ready.
Explanation:
The reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, so the present tense verb "are" changes to "were" in indirect speech. The pronoun "we" changes to "they" because it refers to the speakers themselves. Hence, the correct answer is "They said that they were ready." The remaining options either fail to change the tense correctly or use an incorrect pronoun.

Q20. Choose the correct indirect speech.
My father said, "The Earth revolves around the Sun."
English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)
Right Answer: My father said that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
Explanation:
This sentence expresses a universal truth. Universal truths do not undergo a tense change in indirect speech, even if the reporting verb is in the past tense. Therefore, "revolves" remains unchanged. The correct indirect speech is "My father said that the Earth revolves around the Sun." The other options incorrectly change the tense or omit essential grammatical elements.
