Question 75

Pick out the correct sentence in indirect narration of the following sentence:
He said, "Let us wait for the award."

Solution

Since the quoted sentence involves the use of the phrase 'let us', the sentence will be taken as a proposition. The person or thing being proposed to is not mentioned, and we will therefore only begin with 'he proposed'. The pronoun 'us' will transform to 'they', and the sentence will start with 'he proposed that they should'. Lastly, since it is a proposition, the phrase 'wait for the award' will remain unchanged. The sentence in indirect speech would be "He proposed that they should wait for the award." The correct answer is option B.
