Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:
Reema told her partner that he would have to dance in front of a large gathering.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
- Reema said to her partner that he will have to dance in front of a large gathering. The reporting verb "said" should be in the past tense, "told".
- Reema told her partner that he would have to dance in front of a large gathering. This is the correct indirect form of the sentence.
- Reema said to her partner that he will have to dance in front of a large gathering. This is the same as the second option, but it is repeated.
