In the following question, a sentence is given in Direct/Indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives choose the one which best expresses the sentence in Indirect/Direct Speech. She said, "Alas! I failed the test." Correct Answer She exclaimed with sorrow that she had failed the test.

The correct answer is option 3.
While changing the narration of an exclamatory sentence, we need to follow these steps-

  • If the sentence is giving making an exclamation with sorrow (Alas! is an expression of sorrow), we make the following changes-
    • The reporting verb said is changed into exclaimed. We add the feeling indicated by the exclamation i.e. sorrow along with the preposition 'with'.
    • The conjunction 'that' is used in place of commas and inverted commas.
    • The tense changes from the simple past tense to past perfect tense.
       
Eventually, we will get the final sentence- She exclaimed with sorrow that she had failed the test.
