Answer 1

Alice said, “How clever I am!". The given sentence is direct speech. Here the speaker his expressing happiness about her intelligence directly.  

Explanation:

While changing the direct speech into indirect speech, all commas and inverted quotation marks must not be used. The tense of the sentence present between the inverted commas must be changed as past tense. When we convert the given statement into indirect speech, the statement gets converted as “Alice exclaimed that how clever she was.”
