Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
In direct speech: ‘the previous day’ becomes ‘yesterday’, past perfect ‘had visited’ reverts to simple past ‘visited’, and ‘he had thought’ reverts to ‘I thought’. Hence, option (a) is correct.
Direct speech में ‘the previous day’ का ‘yesterday’, past perfect का simple past (‘visited’) और ‘he had thought’ का ‘I thought’ हो जाता है। अतः विकल्प (a) सही है।
