Answer 2

Answer:

When the speaker's statement is reported using different language with exactly the same meaning in case of (b) indirect speech.

Explanation:

A message could be delivered both directly and indirectly. When the message is conveyed using the actual words used by the speaker without any change in the words or with the person, then it becomes a direct speech.

When the message is conveyed with the change of words to another person without changing the meaning, then it becomes indirect speech. Here, as it was said that that the statement of the speaker was reported using different language without changing the meaning, it is an indirect speech.
