Which of the following is the correct direct form of this sentence? 'He said with joy that it was a very nice thing.'
A. He said, 'A nice thing it is!'
B. He said, 'What a nice thing it is!'
C. He said, 'What a nice thing it is.'
D. He said, 'Which a nice thing it is'
সঠিক উত্তরঃ
B.
He said, 'What a nice thing it is!'
Explanation: The correct direct form of the sentence is 'He said, What a nice thing it is!' (Option B). It properly reflects the exclamatory nature of the indirect sentence. Option A ('A nice thing it is!') is not exclamatory; Option C omits punctuation; Option D ('Which a nice thing it is') is grammatically incorrect. Note: Conversion from indirect to direct speech should preserve tone and punctuation.
