    D Taru said to me, “Avika was having her online cooking class at this time.” Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In direct speech, the structure is: Present continuous (Subject +is/am/are+V1 +ing+ Object) In indirect speech, the structure is: Past Continuous (Subject +was/were+V1 +ing+ Object) Following this, option 3 is correct. ‘Now’ in direct speech changes to ‘then’ in indirect speech.
