Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
Reversing indirect to direct speech: ‘that day’ -> ‘today’, ‘could not’ -> ‘cannot’, ‘had been feeling’ -> ‘have been feeling’, ‘the previous evening’ -> ‘yesterday evening’, ‘was waiting’ -> ‘is waiting’.
अप्रत्यक्ष से प्रत्यक्ष कथन में बदलने पर: ‘that day’ का ‘today’, ‘could not’ का ‘cannot’, ‘had been feeling’ का ‘have been feeling’, ‘the previous evening’ का ‘yesterday evening’ तथा ‘was waiting’ का ‘is waiting’ हो जाएगा।
