Answer 2

Answer:

She said that she had given her word that she would be back at home by nine.

Explanation:

• The conversion of a direct speech into an indirect speech in the English language follows specific rules.

• Indirect speech or reported speech is used to refer to something about a past event or incident.

• While direct speech carries the exact repeating words of the original speaker bounded by quotation marks (" "), indirect speech carries the grammatical modification of the same speech or we can say by reporting the words with no quotation marks and adding reporting verbs like say, ask, tell etc. Also, to ace the verbal ability, it is important to follow the tense rules.

• Since in the given sentence the reporting verb is in the past simple form (said), and the direct speech is in the past indefinite, the reported or indirect speech will follow the rule i.e. Past indefinite form→ Past perfect tense form (had+ verb 3 form)

Hence the sentence is as follows:

She said that she had given her word that she would be back at home by nine.
