Correct Answer: The Prime Minister has said that the government will extend help to the unorganised sector.


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

When the indirect speech is in an assertive form, we follow the steps given below:

  • The connector "that" would be used to connect the reporting clause and the reported clause.
  • The tense of indirect or reported speech will remain the same as the reporting verb (has said) is in the present tense.

Therefore, the correct answer is: " The Prime Minister has said that the government will extend help to the unorganised sector ."
