Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand pronouns and tense shifts
- In indirect speech, "I will'' changes to "she would.''
- When converting back to direct speech, change "she'' back to "I'' and "would'' back to "will.''
Step 2: Analyze options
- Option (C) is correct as it restores the original pronoun "I'' and the future tense "will.''
- Option (A) keeps "she'' instead of "I,'' which is incorrect in direct speech.
- Option (B) incorrectly keeps "would'' in direct speech.
- Option (D) changes tense to present "says,'' which is incorrect.
Step 3: Conclusion
The correct direct speech is option (C).
