Choose the most appropriate reported construction for the given sentence:

"I will buy the flowers myself." said Mrs. Kapoor

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

In reported speech, 'will' changes to 'would', the pronoun 'I' becomes 'she', and 'myself' becomes 'herself': Mrs. Kapoor said that she would buy the flowers herself. Option 1 wrongly uses past simple 'bought', option 2 retains direct-speech order, and option 4 changes the meaning entirely.
