Correct Answer: He exclaimed that he would have really loved to visit Kashmir that year.
Solution : The first option is correct.
Explanation:
Indirect form, also known as indirect speech or reported speech, is a way of expressing someone else's words or statements without quoting them directly. The reporting verb
said
changes to
exclaimed.
Narration conversion:
- The reporting "said" changes to "exclaimed that".
- The first person pronoun "I" changes to the third person pronoun.
- "This year" becomes "that year" in the indirect part.
Therefore, the indirect form would be: H e exclaimed that he would have really loved to visit Kashmir that year .
