Correct Answer: With his euphoria fading, Vikram asked who it was.


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

Indirect speech is a way of reporting what someone else has said without using their exact words. In the transformation to the indirect speech:

  • There would be no change in the reporting verb.
  • The present tense "is" changes to the past tense "was" to match the past tense narrative.
  • The phrase "his euphoria fading" is repositioned to the beginning for a smoother flow, but its meaning stays the same.
Therefore, the required indirect speech is: "With his euphoria fading, Vikram asked who it was."
