Correct Answer: Bhanu said, "We need to work this out from our angle."
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
The given sentence is in indirect speech, and we need to convert it to direct speech.
When we change an indirect speech to a direct speech, we must follow these rules:
- The reported verb "said" remains the same in the reporting speech part.
- The conjunction "that" would be used.
- In direct speech, the pronouns "they" and "their" (third-person pronouns) are changed to "we" and "our" (first-person pronouns), respectively.
- The verb "needed" in the indirect part is changed to "need" in the direct speech part.
- The demonstrative "that" in the indirect part is changed to "this" in the direct speech part.
Thus, the correct answer is: Bhanu said, "We need to work this out from our angle ."
