Answer 2

Here is the correct answer along with its explanation:

Partha said that it was her duty and she would do it.

Explanation

When there is no object after the reporting verb 'said', we don't convert it into 'told'; it remains unchanged.

This sentence was a statement. When we change the narration of a simple statement, we do the following changes in the given sentence:

1. We connect reporting verb clause with quoted speech (direct speech) using 'that'

2. We change the tense of the quoted speech into the past tense.

3. We change the pronouns according to the subject and object pronouns or nouns.
