Correct Answer: Girish said that they had not gone to Mexico.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .
In converting the sentence from direct speech to indirect speech, we maintain the meaning while adjusting the pronouns and verb tenses.
- The first-person (we) pronoun changed to the third-person (they).
- The present perfect tense is changed into the past perfect tense.
Therefore, the indirect speech is: "Girish said that they had not gone to Mexico."
