Choose the correct indirect (reported) speech for: He said, “Hurrah! We won!”
AHe exclaimed hurrah that they won.
BHe exclaimed with joy that they had won.
CHe said hurrah that they had won.
DHe exclaimed that hurrah they won.
Explanation
Positive interjections such as ‘Hurrah,’ expressing sudden joy, are not carried over directly into indirect speech. Instead, the emotion is conveyed through a phrase like ‘exclaimed with joy,’ while the verb ‘won’ correctly backshifts to the past perfect ‘had won,’ since it describes an action completed before the moment of reporting.
