Choose the correct indirect narration: Diana said, ‘Hurrah! We have won the match.’

A. Diana said with joy that they have won the match.
B. Diana exclaimed with sorrow that they had won the match.
C. Diana said that they had won the match.
D. Diana exclaimed with joy that they had won the match.
Correct Answer: D. Diana exclaimed with joy that they had won the match.

The correct indirect narration is Diana exclaimed with joy that they had won the match.

  • The interjection 'Hurrah!' expresses joy, so 'exclaimed with joy' accurately conveys the emotion.
  • In indirect speech, the present perfect tense ('have won') typically changes to the past perfect tense ('had won').

Let's analyze the distractors:

  • (A) 'Diana said with joy that they have won the match.' is incorrect because the tense 'have won' should change to 'had won'.
  • (B) 'Diana exclaimed with sorrow that they had won the match.' is incorrect because 'sorrow' contradicts the joyful 'Hurrah!'.
  • (C) 'Diana said that they had won the match.' is incorrect because it omits the expression of joy, which is an essential part of the original sentence's meaning.
