hope it helps

Answer 2

The teacher said, "The sun rises in the east". So, the correct option is (b).

When changing from Indirect Speech to Direct Speech, we have to consider the reporting verb, here it is ‘said’. Proportionally the verb inside the quotes will also change. If the verb is in the present tense, it will be changed to Past tense.

If it is in Past tense, it will be changed into Past Perfect tense. But, here the sentence given within quotes is a universal truth. In this case, the verb should be the same. So, the answer is, The teacher said, “The sun rises in the east.”
