He said to his sister, "Please help me with my homework."
** **Direct ↔ Indirect (present reporting verb)** — When the reporting verb is **in the present** ("says"), we **do not backshift** the tense. So "look" stays "look." Also ensure **subject–verb agreement**: "flowers look," not "flowers looks." (a) breaks S–V agreement. (b) changes aspect to **present continuous**, altering nuance. (d) uses **present perfect plural** with a singular noun "flower" and changes meaning. ---

"I am going to walk to the market to check which shops are open," said Afzal.
** Present perfect ("have forgotten") changes into past perfect ("had forgotten"). Pronouns remain consistent with the speaker. Option (b) wrongly changes "my" to "his." Option (c) wrongly shifts subject to "he." Option (d) uses simple past "forgot," which is weaker. Thus, (a) is correct. ---

"Let's not have non-vegetarian meals in summer," Rubina said to her son.
** "Let's not" in reported speech is expressed as **"suggested that they should not."** Option (a) wrongly changes tense to future. Option (c) uses continuous perfect, which alters meaning. Option (d) is grammatically incomplete. Hence, option (b) is correct. ---

Sam said, "Pa, I am a big boy now and don't need to drink milk."
** Present continuous "am" changes to past "was." "Now" becomes "then." Negative form "don't need" shifts to past "didn't need." Option (b) wrongly changes to "would be" and "won't." Option (c) keeps present tense and "don't" (should be "didn't"). Option (d) wrongly keeps "I." Hence, option (a) is correct. ---

His father said to him, "I cannot allow you to waste my hard-earned money."
** In reported speech, past simple ("arrested," "broke") changes into past perfect ("had arrested," "had broken"). Option (a) shifts only the first verb but leaves the second. Option (b) keeps both verbs in simple past. Option (d) incorrectly keeps "I." Hence, option (c) is correct. ---

Mother said to Maira, "Leave for your office now."
** In reported speech for imperatives, "said to" becomes "told + object + infinitive." The pronoun "your" changes to "her." The adverb "now" changes to "then." Options (a) and (c) keep "your office," which is incorrect. Option (b) is grammatically awkward ("said to Maira leave…"). Thus, option (d) is correct. ---
