Correct Answer: . “I am sorry for all this.” He said.
Solution : The correct option is the fourth option.
Explanation:
The direct form of reported speech involves directly quoting what someone said without any changes to the tense or pronouns used in the reported speech.
- In the direct form, the pronoun he becomes I to reflect the speaker's original words.
- The past tense "was" changes to the present tense "am" as the reported speech is transformed into direct speech.
- The rest of the sentence remains unchanged, maintaining the phrase "sorry for all this" within the quotation marks.
Therefore, the direct form would be: "I am sorry for all this." He said.
