Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

- এটি একটি Assertive Sentence
- Reporting verb 'said to' পরিবর্তিত হয়ে 'told' বসে।
- Inverted comma উঠে গিয়ে conjunction 'that' বসে।
- Reported speech-এর subject 'You' (Second Person) reporting verb-এর object 'me' অনুযায়ী পরিবর্তিত হয়ে 'I' হবে।
- Reporting verb past tense-এ থাকায় Reported speech-এর tense পরিবর্তিত হবে ('cannot' পরিবর্তিত হয়ে 'could not' হবে)।
- 'it' 3rd person হওয়ায় অপরিবর্তিত থাকে।
