To transform the given sentence into indirect narration, we need to change the pronouns and verb tenses according to the rules of indirect speech. Let's analyze each option to determine the correct transformation:
A: He said that he would like this song.
- This option changes the pronoun "I" in the reported speech to "he" in the indirect speech, which is correct.
- However, it does not change the verb tense of "like" to the past tense, which is required in indirect speech. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
B: He said that he liked that song.
- This option changes the pronoun "I" in the reported speech to "he" in the indirect speech, which is correct.
- It also changes the verb tense of "like" to the past tense, which is required in indirect speech. Therefore, this option is correct.
C: He said that he would like that song.
- This option changes the pronoun "I" in the reported speech to "he" in the indirect speech, which is correct.
- However, it uses the future modal verb "would" instead of the past tense of "like," which is not appropriate in this context. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
D: He said that he will like this song.
- This option changes the pronoun "I" in the reported speech to "he" in the indirect speech, which is correct.
- However, it uses the present tense "will like" instead of the past tense of "like," which is not appropriate in indirect speech. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Based on the analysis above, the correct transformation of the given sentence into indirect narration is option B: He said that he liked that song.
