He said that he ............. from fever for three days. Choose the correct option from the following.
अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (2) had been suffering
स्पष्टीकरण:
अप्रत्यक्ष कथन (Indirect Speech) आणि काळाचा बदल:
•
अवतरण चिन्हांबाहेरचे Reporting Verb 'said' (भूतकाळ) आहे.
•
जेव्हा Reporting Verb भूतकाळात असते, तेव्हा Direct Speech मधील चालू पूर्ण वर्तमानकाळ (Present Perfect Continuous: has/have been suffering) हा Indirect Speech मध्ये चालू पूर्ण भूतकाळात (Past Perfect Continuous: had been suffering) बदलतो.
•
तसेच वाक्यात 'for three days' हा कालावधी दर्शवला असल्याने Continuous Tense ची 'had been suffering' ही रचना योग्य ठरते.
•
वाक्य: *"He said that he had been suffering from fever for three days."*
पर्याय (2) had been suffering अचूक आहे.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (2) had been suffering
Explanation:
Tense shift in Indirect Speech (Reported Speech):
•
The reporting verb is in the past tense: 'said'.
•
According to the rules of indirect speech, a direct statement in the Present Perfect Continuous tense (*"I have been suffering from fever for three days"*) shifts one step back into the Past Perfect Continuous Tense (`had been + -ing`).
•
The presence of the duration phrase *'for three days'* confirms the need for the perfect continuous aspect.
•
Sentence: *"He said that he had been suffering from fever for three days."*
Option (2) had been suffering is correct.
