Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
Timothy said to Bianca, “I would like to tell you that everybody in this building is doing his work sincerely.”
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) Timothy told Bianca that she would like to tell her that everybody in that building was doing his work sincerely.
‘I’ (वक्ता Timothy) का ‘he’ होता है, और ‘you’ (श्रोता Bianca) का ‘her’। ‘would like’ अपरिवर्तित रहता है, ‘this’ ‘that’ बनता है, और ‘is doing’ ‘was doing’ बनता है।
✓ शुद्ध वाक्य: Timothy told Bianca that he would like to tell her that everybody in that building was doing his work sincerely.
⚑ SSC key बनाम सही उत्तर: SSC key के अनुसार उत्तर (d) है। सभी विकल्पों में ‘I’ को ‘she’ लिखा गया है, जबकि वक्ता Timothy है। सही रूप ‘Timothy told Bianca that he would like to tell her that everybody in that building was doing his work sincerely’ है। प्रश्न दोषपूर्ण है, परंतु अन्य बदलाव केवल (d) में सही हैं।
Concept (pronouns in reported speech, the SON concept): ‘I’ (the speaker, Timothy) becomes ‘he’, and ‘you’ (the listener, Bianca) becomes ‘her’. ‘Would like’ stays unchanged, ‘this’ becomes ‘that’, and ‘is doing’ becomes ‘was doing’.
✓ Correct sentence: Timothy told Bianca that he would like to tell her that everybody in that building was doing his work sincerely.
!
Note: The SSC key gives (d). In all the options, ‘I’ is written as ‘she’, although the speaker is Timothy, so the question is defective. The correct form is ‘Timothy told Bianca that he would like to tell her that everybody in that building was doing his work sincerely’. The other changes are correct only in (d).
