A sentence is provided in direct speech. From the four given options, choose the one that most accurately conveys

- a) He said that he is not feeling fine.
- b) He said that he was not feeling fine.
- c) He said that he didn’t feel fine.
- d) He said he not feeling fine.
correct answer : b)
Explanation:
In indirect speech, the present continuous tense (‘am not feeling’) changes to the past continuous tense (‘was not feeling’). The pronoun ‘I’ changes to ‘he’. Thus, ‘He said that he was not feeling fine’ is correct.
Direct से Indirect में बदलते समय Present Continuous tense (‘am not feeling’) Past Continuous tense (‘was not feeling’) में बदल जाता है और सर्वनाम ‘I’, ‘he’ में बदल जाता है। अतः विकल्प B सही है।
