According to the rules of direct and indirect speech, select the alternative that correctly describes their structure.
A
Direct speech reports the speaker’s exact words, while indirect speech preserves verb tenses, pronouns, and temporal references without change.
B
Direct speech reproduces the speaker’s words exactly, while indirect speech conveys the same meaning with necessary adjustments in verb tense, pronouns, and temporal or spatial references.
C
Indirect speech uses quotation marks and retains the original form of the speaker’s words, but adapts only the time expressions.
D
Direct speech summarizes the idea of a statement without quotation marks, whereas indirect speech quotes the speaker literally with all original grammar intact.
E
Indirect speech always reports words literally, keeping pronouns and verb tenses unchanged, while direct speech paraphrases freely.
A transposição do discurso direto para o indireto em Língua Inglesa envolve ajustes sistemáticos de tempos verbais, pronomes e marcadores temporais, fenômeno conhecido como "backshift". Acerca das regras de conversão, assinale a alternativa CORRETA.
A
A conversão de perguntas do discurso direto para o indireto mantém a inversão entre sujeito e verbo auxiliar, exigindo o uso da partícula "if" apenas quando a pergunta original for iniciada por um pronome interrogativo "wh-".
B
Verbos modais como "must" e "should" sofrem alterações obrigatórias no discurso indireto, mudando necessariamente para "had to" e "would should" para indicar que a obrigação ou conselho pertence ao tempo passado.
C
O tempo verbal do discurso indireto deve permanecer inalterado se a informação relatada for uma verdade universal ou um fato que ainda é verdadeiro no momento da fala, independentemente do tempo do verbo introdutório.
D
Expressões temporais como "yesterday" e "tomorrow" devem ser mantidas integralmente no discurso indireto para garantir a precisão histórica do relato e evitar confusões cronológicas por parte do receptor da mensagem.
E
Quando o verbo introdutório está no passado, o "present perfect" do discurso direto deve ser convertido em "past perfect" no discurso indireto, enquanto pronomes demonstrativos como "this" e "these" mudam para "that" e "those".

Reported Speech, also known as Indirect Speech, involves reporting what someone else said, often requiring changes in tenses, pronouns, and time expressions. Analyze the following statements about backshifting:
I.When reporting a statement made in the Present Simple, the verb usually shifts to the Past Simple if the reporting verb is in the past.
II.The Modal Verb 'must' always remains 'must' in Reported Speech, as it is impossible to express obligation in a reported past context.
III.Time expressions like 'yesterday' are typically changed to 'the day before' or 'the previous day' to maintain the correct chronological reference.
Regarding these statements, select the correct alternative:
A
I, II and III.
B
I and II only.
C
III only.
D
II only.
E
I and III only.

Consider the direct speech:
“I can’t attend the meeting now because my supervisor is traveling,” said Laura.
When transforming the sentence into reported speech, it is necessary to consider the appropriate changes in verb tense and deictic expressions. About this, choose the correct alternative:
A
“Laura said that she can’t attend the meeting now because her supervisor is traveling,” – because it keeps the verb tenses from the direct speech and violates the principle of sequence of tenses.
B
“Laura told that she couldn’t attend the meeting now because her supervisor was traveling.” – the verb “tell” requires a mandatory indirect object; now does not undergo deictic shift.
C
“aura said that she couldn’t attend the meeting then because her supervisor was traveling,” – because the modal can shifts to could when the reporting verb (said) is in the past, following the principle of modal remoteness.
D
“Laura said that she can’t attend the meeting then because her supervisor is traveling.” – it maintains present tenses and only modifies the deictic element; inconsistent with reported discourse in a past context.
E
“Laura told to them that she couldn’t attend the meeting because her supervisor travels.” – because of temporal changes and the presence of contextual markers.
Choose the sentence that is written in reported speech.
A

E
They are saying “they will arrive soon.”
Regarding the classification of the speech in the quote in the text, it is an example of:
A
Indirect Speech (Reported Speech), because it describes Randall Plunkett's concepts using present tenses.
B
Direct Speech, because it uses Randall Plunkett's exact words enclosed in quotation marks.
C
Direct Speech, because it uses reporting verbs to introduce the sentence.
D
Indirect Speech, because the focus is on the quoted Randall Plunkett rather than the point the text is trying to make.
Direct speech and reported speech are important structures in English grammar used to reproduce information communicated by another speaker. Understanding the distinction between these structures is essential for interpreting academic texts, conversations, and narratives in English. Read the sentences in Column 01 carefully and correlate them with the appropriate classification presented in Column 02.
Column 01:
(__)Maria said, "I will finish the report tomorrow."
(__)The professor told the students that the exam had been postponed.
(__)James said, "We are studying for the international conference."
(__)The manager explained that the documents were being reviewed carefully.
(__)Helen said, "I bought this computer last month."
Column 02:
I.Direct Speech.
II.Reported Speech.
Correlate the columns according to the grammatical structure used in each sentence. Then, choose the alternative with the correct sequence.
A
I, I, II, II, I.
B
II, II, I, I, II.
C
I, II, I, II, I.
D
II, I, II, I, II.
