A professor, upon returning from a conference, remarked to her research team: "You will need to revise the entire manuscript before the submission deadline." Which of the following accurately renders her instruction in reported speech, maintaining both the directive and the time frame?
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) The professor stated that the team would need to revise the entire manuscript before the submission deadline.
Concept (Reported Directive with Time Frame): Past Reporting Verb होने पर 'will' बदलकर 'would' हो जाता है, और 'You' का संबंध सुनने वालों (the team) से जुड़ता है। Time frame 'before the submission deadline' और निर्देश का भाव दोनों बने रहने चाहिए।
✓ Correct sentence: The professor stated that the team would need to revise the entire manuscript before the submission deadline.
शेष विकल्पों में time frame छूट गया है या वाक्य व्याकरणिक रूप से गलत है।
Exam trap: 'before the submission deadline' जैसा time frame छोड़ देने वाला विकल्प ही वह जाल है।
Concept (Reported Directive with Time Frame): with a past reporting verb, 'will' changes to 'would', and 'You' refers to the listeners (the team). Both the directive and the time frame 'before the submission deadline' must remain.
✓ Correct sentence: The professor stated that the team would need to revise the entire manuscript before the submission deadline.
The other options either drop the time frame or are grammatically incorrect.
Exam trap: options that drop the time frame 'before the submission deadline' are the trap.
