Megha sharma answered
D) He requested me to read the newspaper daily.

Explanation: The original statement is a request, not a question, so "He asked" would not be the appropriate way to start the reported speech. "He requested me to read the newspaper daily" properly conveys the meaning of the original statement, which is a request for the person to read the newspaper on a daily basis.

  • c)
    John says that he went there.
  • d)
    John said that I will go there.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kds Coaching answered
When the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, then in indirect speech we do not change the tense of Reported speech.

So "John says," it is in the present, so we will not change the tense of "I will go there.". That means it will remain future tense in indirect speech also.

Understanding the Correct Answer
The correct answer is option 'A': "Sahil suggested to his friends that they should go to the park." Here’s why this option is the best choice:
1. Nature of the Statement
- Sahil made a suggestion, not a command or a request.
- The phrase "Let’s go" indicates an invitation or suggestion rather than a necessity.
2. Use of "they" vs. "we"
- Option A correctly uses "they," referring to Sahil's friends.
- This maintains clarity about who is being suggested to go to the park.
- Options B, C, and D incorrectly use "we," which can blur the focus on Sahil's friends and imply Sahil himself, altering the meaning.
3. Modal Verb "should"
- Option A uses "should," which is appropriate for making suggestions.
- It implies that going to the park is a good idea, which aligns with the intent of the original statement.
4. Clarity and Correctness
- The other options introduce confusion or incorrect implications:
- Option B suggests a request, which changes the nature of the statement.
- Option C uses "would," which is not suitable for a suggestion.
- Option D implies a necessity with "have to," which is incorrect in the context of a suggestion.
Conclusion
In summary, option 'A' accurately reflects Sahil's original intent to suggest going to the park, maintaining the clarity and focus needed for effective communication.
