The correct answer is option 2 i.e. In.

• This is based on the phrasal verb.
• 'Rope in' is a phrasal verb which means 'to persuade someone to help you do the task'.
• The remaining options do not make any phrasal verb when they are added to 'rope'.
• Moreover, 'rope in' makes a coherent sentence.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Karem reminded Kaif that he had often told him not to play with fire.

1. The use of ‘often’ in the reported speech indicates a sense of telling something again and again which is a kind of reminder to someone.
2. So, accordingly, we will change the reporting verb to ‘reminded’.
3. The inverted commas (“ ”) used in Direct Narration is removed in Indirect Narration and “that” conjunction is used. 
4. The tense of the reported speech is present perfect which will change to past perfect tense.
5. The pronoun “I” is referring to the subject of the reporting speech, so, it will change to “he” in indirect speech.

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. She said, “Be quiet and listen to my words.”

1. The use of the verb “urged” indicates that the sentence is an imperative sentence of indirect speech. 
2. Here, ‘urged’ is changed to ‘said’.
3. Here the object ‘them’ in indirect speech will be removed while converting in the direct speech. Because she was urging someone( sometimes in the direct speech object is missing and we have to add one according to the sense of the sentence in indirect speech). 
4. Here, “to” will be removed in Indirect Narration, inverted commas (“ ”) will be used in Direct Narration.
5. ‘Her’ will be changed to ‘My’. 

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Shraddha said, “I am waiting for my friends.”

1. The given sentence is in the assertive form, to convert assertive sentences into direct narration, the below rules are followed:
2. Say/Said is changed to told/said, if the sentence has an object then it is changed to told otherwise not.
3. The inverted commas (“ ”) used in Direct Narration is removed in Indirect Narration and “that” conjunction is used. 
4. Remove the conjunction “that, if or whether etc” wherever necessary while converting from indirect to direct speech.
5. Change the past tense into present tense wherever the reporting verb is in the past tense.
6. ‘was’ will be changed to ‘am’.

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Manju exclaimed that it was nonsense.

This is a direct narration of an exclamatory sentence.

Exclamatory sentences use reporting verbs like "exclaimed" to reflect the tone of the original sentence.

The present tense in direct speech 'is' changes to the past tense was in indirect speech.

The word "Nonsense!" retains its intended meaning without adding unnecessary emotions e.g., "sadly" or "with disgust" unless explicitly stated in the original sentence.

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. The guide said to the staff, “Please don’t touch the glass.”

1. The use of the verb “requested” indicates that the sentence is an imperative sentence of indirect speech. 
2. The reported speech will start with the word “please” to denote the tone of request.
3. Here, ‘requested’ is changed to ‘said’.
4. The inverted commas (“ ”) used in Direct Narration is removed in Indirect Narration and “that” conjunction is used. 
5. “Don’t” will be used in reported speech.

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The ‘Ganadevata’ director said that he did not think they could afford the luxury of checking in somewhere just to write scripts.

The sentence shifts from direct to indirect speech, the reporting verb "says" changes to its past tense, "said."

In indirect speech, the verb in the reported clause shifts one step back in time. Hence: do not think changes to 'did not think' and 'can afford' changes to 'could afford.'

The pronoun 'I' in direct speech changes to 'he' in the indirect speech to match the subject of the reporting verb i.e. the director.

Quotation marks are removed in indirect speech, and the sentence is joined using that.

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The Hindu said, " We don't believe in rumours". 

The given sentence is in the assertive form, to convert assertive sentences into indirect narration, the below rules are followed:

Say/Said is changed to told/said in the direct speech, as per the sentence. If it has an object ‘me’ than only told will be used otherwise not. And vice-versa in indirect speech.

The inverted commas (“ ”) used in Direct Narration is removed in Indirect Narration and “that” conjunction is used. And vice-versa in indirect speech.

‘It’ will be changed to ‘we’. Here we refer to the team members. 

‘Did not’ of reported speech will be changed to ‘do not’.

NOTE: "The Hindu" is likely referring to a newspaper or organization, which is treated as a singular, neuter entity. Hence, the pronoun "it" is appropriately used to refer to it.
