"Let" refers to the suggestions or proposals. Since this particular sentence is talking about a suggestion, the rules to change direct speech into indirect speech are as follow:
- The inverted commas (“ “) used in Direct Narration is removed in Indirect Narration.
- The reported speech here, is a suggestion i.e., reema put forward the idea of giving a party.
- ‘Said’ will be changed to ‘suggested’ in indirect speech.
- No conjunction is required to connect the reported speech to reporting speech as per the given sentence will be an imperative sentence after converting into indirect speech.
- We use the gerund form of the verb after ‘suggested’, thus, ‘going’ is the correct verb.
- But reema’s husband said ‘no’ to the idea of giving a party i.e. he refused to the idea. In this case we will join both sentences with the help of conjunction ‘but’.
The sentence in indirect speech will be :- Reema suggested giving a party, but her husband was against the idea.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
