Correct Answer: She said, “I wonder if I have enough money to buy a pullover.”


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

In order to convert the given sentence from indirect to direct form, there will be some changes:

  • The reporting verb "exclaimed" is changed to "said".
  • The third-person pronoun "she" is changed to the first-person pronoun "I".
  • "If" would be used to connect the conditional clause in the direct speech.

Hence, the correct answer is: She said, "I wonder if I have enough money to buy a pullover . "
