Correct Answer: The student told her that he/she did not remember her name.
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
Indirect speech, also known as reported speech or indirect speech discourse, is a way of reporting what someone else has said without quoting their exact words.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- There is no change in the reporting verb.
- The present tense "do not remember" is changed to the past tense "did not remember".
- The first-person pronoun "I" is changed to the third-person pronoun "he/she", depending on the gender.
- And the second-person pronoun "your" is changed to the third-person pronoun "her".
- The connector "that" is used to introduce the inverted clause.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The student told her that he/she did not remember her name.
