A sentence has been given in Direct Speech. Out of the four altenative...
Indirect Speech is used to report someone's words without using their exact words. In this case, the given sentence is in Direct Speech, and we need to convert it into Indirect Speech.
The given sentence in Direct Speech is: "Judge exclaimed, 'No one is above the law.'"
To convert this sentence into Indirect Speech, we need to follow certain rules:
1. Reporting Verb: The reporting verb should be changed according to the context. In this case, the reporting verb can be "said" or "stated."
2. Reporting Verb Tense: The tense of the reporting verb should be changed according to the tense of the reported speech. In this case, the tense remains the same as the sentence is in the present tense.
3. Pronoun Changes: The pronouns in the reported speech may need to be changed to fit the subject of the reporting verb. In this case, there are no pronoun changes required as the subject remains the same.
4. Time and Place Expressions: Time and place expressions may need to be changed to fit the context of the reported speech. In this case, there are no time or place expressions mentioned.
Now, let's look at the options provided:
a) Judge exclaimed no one is above law
b) Judge told no one is above law
c) Judge ordered that no one is above law
d) Judge asked no one is above law
The correct answer is option 'c': Judge ordered that no one is above the law.
Explanation:
- The given sentence is a statement made by the Judge, so the reporting verb should be "said" or "stated."
- The tense of the reporting verb remains the same, which is the present tense.
- There are no pronoun changes required as the subject remains the same.
- The word "exclaimed" suggests a strong expression, but in the options provided, "ordered" best conveys the meaning that the Judge is making a strong statement about the law.
- The word "that" is used to introduce the reported speech in option 'c,' which is necessary to join the reported speech with the reporting verb.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'c': Judge ordered that no one is above the law.
