Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Solution

The correct indirect form is: Suman said that she would go to a new school the next day.

Key points

  1. Remove the quotation marks and comma; introduce the reporting clause with the connector 'that' when needed.

  2. Change personal pronouns as required by the new subject: 'I' (speaker in direct speech) becomes 'she' (Suman).

  3. Shift the tense because the reporting verb is in the past: 'will' (future) becomes 'would' (future-in-past).

  4. Change time expressions accordingly: 'tomorrow' becomes 'the next day'.

  5. Assemble the sentence using these changes.

Final sentence: Suman said that she would go to a new school the next day.
