In the following Twenty seven questions, a sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect Speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect/Direct Speech and mark your answer in the Answer sheet.

(Applicable only to the following question)

Rahul said, “Yes I am mistaken”

Rahul admitted that he was mistaken.
Rahul said that he was on mistake.
Rahul admitted that I was mistaken.
Rahul said that he is mistaken.
Explanation:

Only one sentence is grammatically correctly framed and that is option (A). Other options can be faulted on grammar. The reporting verb (“said”) is rightly changed to “admitted”, the first person is changed to the third person and the present tense (“am”) is turned into past tense (“was”). The reported speech is perfect.
