Changing the given direct speech to indirect we should.
- While changing the narration of an imperative sentence, we need to follow steps-
- If the sentence is starting with "let us" and there is a proposal, we make the following changes-
- The reporting verb said is changed into suggested or proposed.
- The conjunction 'that' is used in place of commas and inverted commas.
- We will convert the Given sentence from imperative to Assertive then make changes into like we do while changing the narration of an assertive sentence.
- The assertive sentence for the given Imperative sentence will be- "We shall go for a walk."
- The first person 'We' will be changed into 'they' and 'shall' will be changed into 'should'.
Eventually, we will get the final sentence- "Mina suggested that they should go for a walk."
Which is Option 2 and therefore the correct answer.
