Choose the correct option to change the following sentence into Direct Speech.

The supervisor confirmed that the office memo was an original one.

Solution

Correct Option: 1

In the indirect sentence, 'memo' is the noun, and in direct speech it must remain 'memo', not change to 'order'. Also, the reporting verb shifts past tense 'was' back to present 'is' in direct speech. Only option 1 retains 'memo' and uses 'is' correctly.
