narration - the teacher said i read the letter
Answers
Explanation:
The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported speech).In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are repeated. In indirect/reported speech, the exact meaning is expressed but not necessarily using the original speaker's exact words. Pronouns and possessive adjectives usually change from first or second person to the third person except when the speaker is reporting his own words. Sometimes a noun can be inserted to avoid doubt.
When we turn direct questions and exclamations into indirect speech, they are converted to affirmative statement .( ? and ! is not used).
Option A is correct as you is changed to they and that is added.
The other options are wrong as had, could , and are going can't be used.
The correct answer is A)The teacher told the students that they must study hard for the test on comprehension.

ANSWER
As the given sentence in the direct speech is in the present perfect tense, we will change it to the past perfect tense in the indirect speech.
Option B - 'Sangeet said that he wrote a letter to his family in Dubai.' is incorrect as this sentence is in the simple past tense. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Sangeet said the he was writing a letter to his family in Dubai.' is incorrect as this sentence is in the past continuous tense. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Sangeet said that he will write a letter to his family in Dubai.' is incorrect as this sentence is in the simple future tense. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'Sangeet said the he had written a letter to his family in Dubai.' can be used here as this sentence is in the past perfect tense. Thus option A is the correct answer.
'Sangeet said that he had written a letter to his family.'
