Correct Answer: Prachi said, "Let us meet their friends at a restaurant."
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
Direct speech, also known as quoted speech or direct discourse, refers to the representation of someone's words or statements exactly as they were spoken.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb "proposed" is changed to "said".
- The modal verb should meet is changed to let us meet.
- The direct words of the speaker are enclosed in inverted commas.
Therefore, the direct form would be: Prachi said, "Let us meet their friends at a restaurant."
