Correct Answer: Sanjeev said, "I will surely succeed.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Narration Conversion:

  • The modal verb would is changed to will in the direct speech.
  • The reporting verb said remains the same.
  • The third-person pronoun he is changed to the first-person pronoun I.
  • The words of the speaker are enclosed in quotation marks.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Sanjeev said, "I will surely succeed."
