Choose the option that correctly transforms the given sentence from direct speech to indirect speech:

The Kathvachak said to the crowd, "The sun rises every day for all of us without any expectations in return and we must cultivate the same feeling in ourselves."

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Said to becomes told the crowd, and told is not followed by to. A universal truth keeps the present tense, so rises stays. First person pronouns shift to third person, giving them, they and themselves throughout, and the second clause takes a repeated that. Only option four applies all these changes consistently.
