The given passage is talking about how Sehwag achieved impressive career numbers even though he never worried about milestones considered important by fans and critics alike.

Option 2, i.e, 'His carelessness was one of the reasons why he retired' is not the correct answer because it goes completely against the message of the passage.

Option 3, i.e., 'He evolved as a batsman throughout his career' does not fit in the blank as it is completely out of context. The passage is talking about how great a player Sehwag was while this line talks about his evolution as a batsman.

Option 4, i.e., 'India is very proud to have a cricketer like Sachin' cannot be the correct answer as the passage is talking about Sehwag and not Sachin.

• In interrogative sentences, 'said to' written in direct speech, is changed to 'asked, questioned, enquired, interrogated' in indirect sentence.
• '?' is changed to (.)
• For 'Wh-word' questions in 'direct sentences', no conjunction is used. 
• In indirect speech, the formation of the sentence would not be interrogative, i.e. use helping verb or main verb after the subject in reported speech. So, write 'I was' and 'I wanted' in reported speech.
• Tense of reported speech is changed, present simple changes into the past simple.
• The second person is changed as per the object in the reporting part of the direct speech. Here, 'you' will change according to the object of the reporting speech (me), so, write 'I' in indirect speech.

​The correct sentence is: She asked me who I was and what I wanted. 

The sentence has been given in Direct speech. It is an imperative sentence. 

• Imperative sentences express ideas such as advice, order, request, suggestion, instruction, permission, allowance, etc.
• In order to change an imperative sentence into indirect speech, we use a to-infinitive. 
• Note that instead of ‘said’ we use one of the following reporting verbs : Advise, command, request, suggest, threaten, order, forbid, decree, propose, entreat, prompt, counsel, pardon, beg, persuade, instruct, etc.

Since the given sentence contains a request, we will use the reporting verb 'requested' while converting it into indirect speech. The verb changes from 'be' to 'to-be'(to-infinitive).

• While changing the narration of an imperative sentence, we need to follow these steps
• If the sentence is starting with "You should" and there is a statement, we make the following changes-
  • The reporting verb said is changed into stated or asserted.
  • The conjunction 'that' is used in place of commas and inverted commas.
  • We will convert the Given sentence from imperative to Assertive then make changes into like we do while changing the narration of an assertive sentence.
  • The assertive sentence for the given Imperative sentence will be- "I should have been here yesterday."
  • The second person 'you' will be changed into 'I'.
  • The adverb of time (yesterday) will be changed in to ‘the day before’.
  • The tense of the given sentence is past progressive tense (should have been) which remains unchanged in the indirect sentence.

Eventually, we will get the final sentence- " Shukla stated that I should have been here the day before today."

• The given sentence is about financial literacy and awareness.
• Option 1) is not appropriate because it is not relevant to the context.
• Option 2) is not the suitable answer because it talks about something which is not relevant to the context.
• Option 3) is the best fit. In the previous sentence the achievement of something is mentioned. In order to indicate the process or the action which is previously mentioned we can begin the next sentence with the words 'the task'.
• Option 4) and option 5) are not relevant to the context. Hence, we cannot choose these options.

The complete paragraph: In India, financial literacy and awareness should go hand in hand, if the very important socio-economic objective of financial inclusion is to be achieved. The task is challenging because the majority of the population is still beyond the pale of the banking system.

• The given sentence is about India's central government.
• Option 1) and option 3) are about climate. So, we cannot choose these options.

• We should eliminate option 5) as it begins with the preposition 'in' and 'in' is also written before the blank.
• Option 2) is the best fit because it mentions something about India and it completes the paragraph appropriately.

The complete paragraph is: We expect India’s central government to remain generally reform-minded over the next few years, and potential areas for further reform seem plentiful, in our view. However, the process of reform in India remains complex, and implementation at times has proven difficult.

• The given sentence informs us about the 'usefulness' of Instagram.
• It is clear that we should use a verb¹ after the word 'not' as the preposition 'to' is already used before it.

• Option 2) is inappropriate because we cannot use verb² form after the word 'not'.
• Option 3) is not the answer because it begins with the word 'laughter' which is a noun.
• Option 4) is the best fit because 'make' is a verb and it is appropriate for the paragraph.
• Option 5) is not the answer because it begins with a preposition which is not required here.

The complete paragraph is: It is amazing how dominant Instagram has become in the world of social media. Eco-advocates would be remiss to not make use of it to raise awareness and spur action on behalf of the plane.
