Change the narration: The poor beggar said, “O God! Have mercy on my soul”.

  • (A) The poor beggar exclaimed that God have mercy on his soul
  • (B) The poor beggar told God to have mercy on his soul
  • (C) The poor beggar invoking God implored him to have mercy on his soul
  • (D) The beggar prayed to God to have mercy on his soul
The original sentence, “O God! Have mercy on my soul,” is a prayer spoken by the beggar. In indirect speech, the meaning should remain unchanged. The correct way to report a prayer is by using verbs like “prayed to” or “begged,” rather than verbs such as “exclaimed” or “told,” which imply shouting or giving instructions. Therefore, the proper reported form is: “The beggar prayed to God to have mercy on his soul.”
