The correct answer is 'She said that she was going to Delhi to attend her friend's marriage'.
 
Key Points
  • To convert direct speech into indirect speech, we need to change the present tense verbs to their past tense forms.
  • In this case, "I am" changes to "she was" and "my friend's" changes to "her friend's."
  • Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect as they do not properly convert the pronouns and verbs to their correct forms.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
 
Complete Sentence: "She said that she was going to Delhi to attend her friend's marriage."
 
Additional Information
  • Option 1: "she was going to Delhi to attend my friend's marriage" is incorrect because "my" should change to "her" in indirect speech.
  • Option 2: "she was going to Delhi to attend our friend's marriage" is incorrect because "our" should change to "her" in indirect speech.
  • Option 3: "I was going to Delhi to attend my friend's marriage" is incorrect because "I" should change to "she" and "my" should change to "her" in indirect speech.
