A
She said that she lost her keys.
B
She said that she had lost her keys.
C
She said that she has lost her keys.
D
She said that she loses her keys.
উত্তরের বিবরণ
Answer: খ) She said that she had lost her keys.
-
মূল বাক্যটি Present Perfect Tense-এ আছে।
-
Reported speech-এ tense পরিবর্তিত হয়ে Past Perfect হয়।
-
have lost → had lost।
-
বাক্যের অর্থ অপরিবর্তিত থাকে।
-
সুতরাং সঠিক reported speech: She said that she had lost her keys.
Other options:
-
ক) She said that she lost her keys. → have lost → lost নয়, had lost হওয়া উচিত।
-
গ) She said that she has lost her keys. → Reporting verb past tense হলে, tense পরিবর্তন করা উচিত।
-
ঘ) She said that she loses her keys. → Present Indefinite, অর্থ ও tense উভয়ই ভুল।

Other options:
-
ক) This is the most exterior part of the building. → ভুল; exterior ইতিমধ্যেই ‘বাইরের’ অর্থ প্রকাশ করে, most ব্যবহার করা যায় না।
-
খ) The utter worse situation was unexpected. → ভুল; utter মানে ‘সম্পূর্ণ’, কিন্তু worse (comparative) এর সাথে ব্যবহার করা যায় না। সঠিক হবে utter worst বা the worst situation।
-
ঘ) The most hind section is the largest. → ভুল; hind positive adjective, most ব্যবহার করা যায় না।
