Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

To convert the direct speech into indirect speech, we apply the following rules:The reporting verb "said" remains unchanged as it is not followed by an object.The conjunction "that" is used to replace the inverted commas.The first-person pronoun "I" changes to the third-person feminine pronoun "she" according to the subject of the reporting verb ("Suman").The future tense modal verb "will" changes to its past form "would" because the reporting verb is in the past tense.The adverb of time "tomorrow" changes to "the next day" or "the following day".Combining these changes, the correct sentence is: "Suman said that she would go to a new school from the next day."
