Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech.
Ravi suggested to his friends that they should go for a walk.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'They should go for a walk' में अन्य पुरुष 'they' रखा गया। किंतु वक्ता को सम्मिलित करने वाला सुझाव direct में 'We should' बनता है।'They should go for a walk' kept the third-person 'they'; but a suggestion that includes the speaker goes back to 'We should'.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'Ravi say to … We shall' में 'We' सही रहा। किंतु 'say' अशुद्ध है, और 'shall' 'should' को बदल देता है जो वैसा ही रहना चाहिए।'Ravi say to … We shall' got 'We' right; but 'say' is faulty, and 'shall' changes 'should', which has to stay.
आपने शायद यह सोचाWhat you probably thought'says to' में 'We should' सही रहा। किंतु 'suggested' भूतकाल में है, अतः reporting verb भूतकाल में ही रहता है: 'said to'।'says to' got 'We should' right; but 'suggested' is past, so the reporting verb stays past: 'said to'.
