The boy said, "Let me have a pen". বাক্যেটির indirect speech হবে-- ?

Explanation

To convert direct speech into indirect speech, we need to consider several factors: the reporting verb, the tense, and the modality of the verb used. In the provided sentence, "Let me have a pen" is a request.

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.
