Question

Change from indirect to direct speech:

• A. Riya said, "I has completed my homework".
• B. Riya said, "She had completed my homework."
• C. Riya said, "I completed my homework."
• D. Riya said, "She has completed my homework."

Answer 1

The correct option is C Riya said, "I completed my homework."

Direct speech is used to report what somebody has said in inverted commas.

Simple past tense changes to past perfect tense while converting direct to indirect speech. The structure is: Subject + had + past participle form of the verb + object.

Hence, option C is the correct answer as it is the correct conversion of the given sentence into the simple past tense.
