Choose the indirect speech of - Rahim said, 'I must post the letter'.
A Rahim said he must post the letter
B Rahim said that he must post the letter
C Rahim said he has to post the letter
D Rahim said that he had to post a letter
Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
Assertive sentence-এ থাকা must (বাধ্যবাধকতা না বুঝালে) যুক্ত direct speech-কে indirect করার নিয়ম: sub + said that + sub + had to (must এর পরিবর্তে) + বাকি অংশ। অর্থাৎ সঠিক indirect form: Rahim said that he had to post a letter.
