Vandana said she was dropped to office today.

Correct Answer:

Vandana said that she was being dropped to office that day.

Explanation:

The correct indirect form of the sentence is:

The other options are incorrect:

  • Vandana said that I am being dropped to office on that day. This is incorrect because the speaker is talking about themselves, not the person they are speaking to.
  • Vandana said that she should be dropped to office today. This is incorrect because the speaker is expressing a wish or opinion, not a statement of fact.
  • Vandana said she was dropped to office today. This is incorrect because the reported speech is describing an action that has already happened.
