Answer 2

Answer:

Concept:

   The main difference between direct and indirect speech is that in direct speech, a quote is used exactly, whereas in indirect speech, your own words are used. Direct speech is very simple to understand and to use.

Explanation:

Direct speech

• A direct speech report details the precise words a speaker or writer used. Contrast with indirect speech. It is also known as direct speech. With a reporting verb, signal phrase, or quotative frame, direct speech is typically enclosed in quotation marks.

Indirect speech

• Reporting speech is another name for indirect speech. Other names for it include indirect discourse and indirect storytelling.

• The act of reporting in your own words what someone else said while maintaining the original meaning is known as indirect speech.

Therefore the given direct speech can be converted into indirect speech as, "He said that he was a great fool."

The option B is correct.
