The correct indirect speech for 'He says, I shall be here' is 'He says that he will be there' because the first-person pronoun 'I' changes to 'he', 'shall' changes to 'will' in reported speech, and 'here' changes to 'there'.

The word 'sifting' correctly fits the sentence as it means to examine carefully and separate what is useful from what is not, which matches the context of going through accumulated junk. The other options are either incorrect words or do not fit the context.

The correct word is 'dilapidated,' which means in a state of disrepair or ruin, fitting the context of the factory needing restoration. The option 'dilapitadated' is a misspelling of 'dilapidated,' so it has been corrected in the options.

The correct phrase is 'On receiving the complaint, the president constituted an inquiry.' 'Complaint' is the proper term for a formal allegation, and 'inquiry' refers to the investigation committee. Option B correctly uses both terms.

The question 'Who painted it:' is asking for the subject of the painting action, so the correct form is 'Who painted it?' None of the given options are grammatically correct or appropriate responses to this question. Therefore, 'None of these' is the correct choice.

The sentence implies that the change from medieval kingdoms to constitutional republics was not sudden but happened slowly over time, making 'gradual' the correct choice. Options 'rapid' and 'unexpected' contradict the idea of a slow change, and 'None of these' is not appropriate since 'gradual' fits well.

The phrase 'Majority of the speakers' is plural because it refers to multiple speakers, so the verb should be plural 'are' to agree with the plural subject.

The correct passive transformation of 'He made us work' is 'We are made to work.' Option A correctly reflects this transformation. Option C is a duplicate of A but the question format typically expects the first correct option to be chosen.

The verb 'deliberated' means to carefully consider or discuss something, which fits the context of jury members discussing before giving a verdict. 'Deferred' means to postpone, and 'adjourned' means to suspend proceedings, neither of which fit the sentence context. Therefore, 'deliberated' is the correct choice.

"Elucidate" means to make something clear or explain, which is not a synonym of "investigate." "Examine" and "Scrutinize" both mean to inspect or investigate closely, making them synonyms of "investigate."
