The boy said, "Let me have a pen". বাক্যেটির indirect speech হবে-- ?
Explanation
When converting requests or commands from direct to indirect speech, we often adjust the modal verb to convey intention. The phrase "Let me" implies a desire or permission. In the context of indirect speech, "might" indicates a tentative request or possibility, which aligns well with the meaning of the original sentence.
Now, let's analyze the options:
A) "The boy said that he might have a pen."
- This correctly reflects a softer request, indicating possibility.
B) "The boy told that he should have a pen."
- "Should" implies obligation and is inaccurate in the context of a request.
C) "The boy said that he must have a pen."
- "Must" indicates necessity, which is not the same as a polite request.
D) "The boy told that he would have a pen."
- "Would" suggests a future certainty rather than a request.
The correct conversion maintains the nuance of the original request, making option A the most suitable choice.
