Change the narrative style of the following text:-Rosamond said to her mother, "What is it, Mum? I didn't want this black thing and the terrible smell." Mother said, "I don't know my dear." Rosamond again said to her mother, "But what shall I do with it?" Mother said, "I can't tell." "Okay, Mum, I must pour it out and fill the jar with fresh water."

Accepted Answer

**Indirect speech:**
Rosamond asked her mother what it was, addressing her as Mum, and said that she had not wanted that black thing and the terrible smell. Mother replied affectionately that she did not know. Rosamond again asked her mother what she should do with it. Mother said that she could not tell. Rosamond agreed, addressing her mother as Mum, and said that she must pour it out and fill the jar with fresh water.

**Rule:** Past reporting verb, so past simple becomes past perfect (didn't want → had not wanted); present simple becomes past simple (don't know → did not know); shall → should; can't → could not; this/that stays as that; must remains must. Interjections and address words (Okay, Mum, my dear) are expressed by words like agreed, affectionately.
