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."
