Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The correct Indirect Speech of the sentence is:
3. The king said that they had managed to deal with the enemies and their treacherous allies.
The reason for selecting option 3, "The king said that they had managed to deal with the enemies and their treacherous allies," is based on the principles of transforming direct speech to indirect speech.
When reporting statements in the past, the tense in the reporting clause (in this case, "The king said") often shifts back one step in the past. Therefore, "have managed" in the direct speech becomes "had managed" in the indirect speech to maintain the correct sequence of tenses. The reported speech should reflect the perspective of the speaker at the time of speaking.
