The correct direct form of the given sentence is: OPTION 1
Dhruv said, "I am sick and tired of working for this company."
-
Change of Pronoun: The pronoun "he" in the indirect form changes to "I" in the direct form because Dhruv is speaking for himself.
-
Change of Verb Tense: The verb "was" in the indirect speech changes to "am" in the direct speech to reflect the current state.
-
Change of Demonstrative: The word "that" changes to "this" to indicate proximity when Dhruv is directly expressing his feelings.
Thus, the best choice that accurately reflects the original meaning in direct speech is: "Dhruv said, 'I am sick and tired of working for this company.'"
OTHER OPTIONS
Dhruv said, "I will be tired of working for that company.": Incorrect because it changes the tense and meaning from a current state to a future one.
-
Dhruv said to me, "I am sick and tired of working for this company.": This is also correct, as it accurately captures the meaning; however, the context of "to me" adds specificity that is not in the original statement.
-
Dhruv said, "He was tired of that company.": Incorrect because it removes the context of being "sick and tired" and changes the pronoun from first person to third person.
