Solution

The correct transformation of the direct speech "I like ice cream" into indirect speech is: "She said (that) she liked ice cream."

Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Identify the reporting verb: In this case, it's "said".

  2. Change the pronoun to match the speaker: "I" becomes "she".

  3. Change the verb tense: The present simple tense "like" becomes past simple "liked" in reported speech.

  4. Add "that" (optional): You can add "that" after the reporting verb, but it's not necessary.

So, "I like ice cream" becomes "She said (that) she liked ice cream."
