Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: Sagarika said that she had passed her examination.
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- There would be no change in the reporting verb in the indirect speech.
- "I" (a first-person pronoun) changes to "she" (a third-person pronoun).
- The present perfect tense "have passed" is changed to the past perfect tense "had passed".
- The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "Sagarika said that she had passed her examination."
