Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. He exclaimed with joy that it was a very charming sight.

Explanation

An exclamatory sentence in indirect speech takes a reporting verb such as 'exclaimed with joy', drops the exclamation mark, changes 'what a … !' into 'a very …', and shifts the present tense back to the past. All of this is satisfied only by He exclaimed with joy that it was a very charming sight.विस्मयादिबोधक वाक्य को अप्रत्यक्ष कथन में बदलने पर 'exclaimed with joy' जैसी क्रिया आती है, विस्मयादिबोधक चिह्न हट जाता है, 'what a … !' का रूप 'a very …' हो जाता है और वर्तमान काल भूतकाल में बदल जाता है। ये सभी शर्तें केवल He exclaimed with joy that it was a very charming sight. में पूरी होती हैं।
