Correct Answer: She said to her mother, “Where is my gold bracelet?”
Solution : The first option is correct.
The given sentence is in indirect speech. As per the question, we have to change it to direct speech.
The process of transformation is as follows:
- The reporting verb "asked " is changed to "said " because a question mark will be added to the direct speech at the end.
- "Where " will not change because it is an interrogative sentence with a question word.
- "Was " is changed to "is " .
- The third-person pronoun "her " is changed to the second-person pronoun "my".
- The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.
Thus, the correct answer is: She said to her mother, "Where is my gold bracelet? "
