Out of the given options, pick the one which best expresses the following sentence in indirect speech.The coach said, "Well done ! You have made me proud."
Correct Option: 4
- The coach applauded and said that he has made us all proud - Incorrect. This option uses incorrect verb tense ('has made') which does not match the past event described.
- The coach applauds and says well done that he is a great player - Incorrect. The present tense verbs 'applauds' and 'says' do not fit the past context of the event described.
- The coach applauded and says well done and that he has made us all proud - Incorrect. This mixes past and present tenses ('applauded' and 'says'), making it grammatically incorrect.
- The coach applauded and said that he had made us all proud - Correct. This uses correct past tense verbs ('applauded' and 'said') consistently, reflecting the past nature of the event appropriately.
