    Given below is a sentence in direct speech.

    From the options below, choose the best option for the indirect speech of this sentence. The girl said, “Hurrah! We have won the match.”
    A The girl exclaimed with joy that they have won the match. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The girl exclaimed with disgust that they had won the match. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The girl exclaimed that they were winning the match. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The girl exclaimed with joy that they had won the match. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The girl jumped with joy as they were winning the match. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Answer. d. The match has already been won, so the sentence has to be in past tense. Only b and d are in the past tense. However, in b, the word ‘disgust’ is untrue and changes the meaning of the sentence. Thus, we will choose option d.
