Correct Answer: Leena said, "My relatives are landing tomorrow."
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .
The direct form of reported speech involves directly quoting what was said without any changes to the tense or pronouns.
When transforming this into direct speech:
- " Leena said " introduces the quotation.
- " My relatives are landing tomorrow," directly quotes Leena's statement. It retains the present tense "are landing" as it refers to an event in the future from another person's perspective at the time of speaking.
So, the direct speech sentence would be: " Leena said, "My relatives are landing tomorrow. "
