Answer 2

‘Arun shouted playfully to the others to catch him if they could’ is an indirect speech of the given sentence.

Explanation:

Direct speech involves narration of a sentence directly by a speaker. It is the utterance of a sentence or a phrase at the first instance. Indirect speech requires reporting of the direct speech in one’s own words.  

In indirect speech the exact word to word quotation is not needed. Thus the arrangement of words and the sentence structure alters significantly. The tense is in the past form. In this sentence the entire statement has been changed to the past tense.
