Answer 2

Answer:

They said that honesty is the best policy. (Indirect speech)

Explanation:

What is an indirect speech?

• It’s a speech that informs us what someone else said but does not use the same words as the person.
• For example, he said that the food was delicious.
• Usually, reporting verbs like tell, ask, enquire etc. are used along with that to introduce the reported words.
• When converted into indirect speech, the commas are removed.
• Example:
• He said, "Jerry can speak English." (Direct speech)
• He said that Jerry could speak English. (Indirect speech)
• During the conversion from direct to indirect speech, all the present tenses will change into their corresponding past tenses.
• But when universal truths are converted into indirect speech, there is no change in tense.
• Example:
• They said, "Honesty is the best policy."
• They said that honesty is the best policy.
