Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.
They cried, "Bravo! Well done."
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct option is: They shouted in joy that they had done well.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow these rules:
- They cried in joy for doing well. - This sentence does not change the present tense to the past tense.
- They cried loudly for doing well. - This sentence adds the word "loudly," which is not in the original sentence.
- They exclaimed with wonder that they had done well. - The word "wonder" does not accurately convey the meaning of the original sentence, which is to express praise.
