Choose the option that is the direct form of the sentence.

Abdul said that he had seen that film the day before.

Abdul said, “I saw this film yesterday.”

The correct direct form of the sentence is:

Abdul said, "I saw that film yesterday."

The other options are incorrect:

• Abdul said, “I had seen this film the day before.” This is incorrect because the verb "had seen" is in the past perfect tense, but the reported speech is describing an action that happened in the past.
• Abdul said, “I saw this film yesterday.” This is incorrect because the pronoun "this" is used instead of "that".
• Abdul said, “I saw that film yesterday.” This is correct.
• Abdul said, “I see this film on the previous day.” This is incorrect because the preposition "on" is used instead of "the day before".
