Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
'Dilip said that they had an open platform where anybody could build a skill very easily'.
The given sentence is in the Direct Speech because it quotes actual words. Therefore, it has to be changed into Indirect Speech.Rules for doing the same:
All inverted commas or quotation marks are omitted and the sentence ends with a full stop.
2. The conjunction ‘that’ is added before the indirect statement.
3. The pronoun ‘we’ is changed to ‘they’. (The Pronoun is changed in Person.)
4. The verb ‘have’ is changed to ‘had’. (Present Tense is changed to Past.)
Hence, the correct option is (D).
