B. Ahmad asked the magician what he has done to deserve to severe a blow
C. Ahmad asked the magician what I have done to deserve so severe a blow
D. Ahmad said to the magician that what I have done to deserve so severe a blow
Explanation
The correct indirect speech is: Ahmad asked the magician what he had done to deserve so severe a blow.
Explanation:
In indirect speech, the pronoun "I" becomes "he" (or "she" or "they" depending on the subject), and the verb tense changes to the past perfect (had done) to indicate that the action happened before the time of speaking.
D. He exclaimed sorrowfully that it was a cold day.
Explanation
The sentence "He said to her, 'What a cold day!' " is a direct quote
By converting it to the sentence "He exclaimed that it was a very cold day", the speaker's tone is emphasized as being one of exclamation or surprise at the cold weather.

Explanation
In Future Indefinite Tense, we use the First Form (simple form) of Verb. We use shall and will. Shall is used with I & We (e.g. I shall ____, We shall ____). Will is used with Name, He, She, It, You, and They
A. He asked why had he visited his uncle the previous day
B. He asked why he had visited his uncle the previous day
C. He asked if he had visited his uncle the previous day

Explanation
If the Reported speech is in the Past Perfect tense, the Indirect Speech will also remain in the Past perfect tense and the helping verbs will also not change, it means when we convert the Direct Speech of the Past perfect tense to Indirect (reported) Speech the tense of the sentence will change into the Past perfect tense which means no changes to the tense and helping verb.
