Fill in the blank with the correct option. She said that she _____ to the conference the following week.
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) would be going
Concept (Reported Future: would be going): Reporting verb (सूचक क्रिया) 'said' Past में है, इसलिए Reported clause (अप्रत्यक्ष कथन उपवाक्य) में भविष्य का कार्य 'would' के साथ आता है। 'the following week' भी Reported Speech (अप्रत्यक्ष कथन) में 'next week' का बदला हुआ रूप है। Direct रूप 'I am going to the conference next week' का Reported रूप 'she would be going' बनता है।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: She said that she would be going to the conference the following week.
विकल्प (a), (b) और (c) Present या Future रूप हैं, जो Past Reporting Verb (भूत सूचक क्रिया) 'said' के साथ नहीं चलते।
Examiner का जाल: Present या Future रूप चुनना।
Concept (Reported future: would be going): the reporting verb 'said' is in the past, so a planned future action in the reported clause moves back a step. 'I am going to the conference next week' becomes 'she would be going to the conference the following week'.
✓ Correct sentence: She said that she would be going to the conference the following week.
Options (a), (b) and (c) are present or future forms, which do not agree with the past reporting verb 'said'.
Exam trap: choosing a present or future form.
