A Nafisa said that she had to write a letter.

B Nafisa said that she had been to write a letter.

C Nafisa said that she has been to write a letter.

D None of these.

Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

Reporting speech –এ বাক্যটি Present Indefinite Tense-এ আছে, আবার must দেয়া আছে অর্থাৎ অবশ্য কর্তব্য বুঝাচ্ছে। সুতরাং এ অংশটির Indirect করতে হলে এক past perfect tense-এ নিতে হবে আবার বাধ্যতাও বুঝাতে হবে।
 
 Reported speech এর ‘must’ indirect speech এ ‘had to’ তে পরিবর্তিত হয়ে যায়।
