Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (C) She said she might consider my proposal.

✓
She said she might consider my proposal.
may गलत दिशा में एक कदम है, और considered modal + V1 के नियम को तोड़ता है।
सरल अर्थ: उसने कहा कि वह मेरे प्रस्ताव पर विचार कर सकती है।
I might consider your proposal
might is already past and stays. I -> she, your -> my (the listener is now the reporter).
✓
She said she might consider my proposal.
may is a step in the wrong direction, and considered breaks modal + V1.

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'she may consider' में वर्तमान का भाव रहा। किंतु 'might' पहले से भूतकालिक रूप है और वैसा ही रहता है, अतः 'may' करना उलटी दिशा है।'she may consider' kept the present sense; but 'might' is already a past form and stays, so changing it to 'may' moves it the wrong way.
B'might considered' में 'might' रहा। किंतु modal के बाद मूल क्रिया आती है, अतः 'considered' अनुचित है।'might considered' kept 'might'; but a modal is followed by the base verb, so 'considered' is wrong.
D'would considered' modal का backshift प्रतीत हुआ। किंतु 'might' को बदलना नहीं पड़ता, 'would' अर्थ बदल देता है, और modal के बाद मूल क्रिया आती है।'would considered' looked like a backshift of the modal; but 'might' needs no change, 'would' alters the meaning, and a modal takes the base verb.
