Question

    Select the most appropriate indirect form of the given

    sentence.   Amit said to me, “Your parents are waiting for you.”
    A Amit told me that his parents were waiting for me. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Amit told me that your parents are waiting for you. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Amit told me that my parents were waiting for me. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Amit asked me if my parents were waiting for me. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Since Amit is speaking directly to the person being addressed (me), the pronoun "your" in the original sentence changes to "my" in the reported speech. Furthermore, the present tense "are waiting" in the original sentence changes to the past tense "were waiting" in the reported speech.
