When changing from direct to indirect voice, an exclamatory sentence (or any type of sentence for that matter) is changed to an assertive sentence. Option (A) and option (D) are thus excluded, because if they are filled into the respective blank, the sentence would be an exclamatory one. Additionally, the 'you' in option (D) is not acceptable, as personal and possessive pronouns change along with the tense when converting from direct to indirect.Option (C) simply doesn't make sense. The word 'how' advocates that Mrs. Otis is asking a question, while Mrs. Otis is simply exclaiming the manner in which Mr. Ghost was belching. Thus, by deduction, option (B) is the correct answer (in my opinion).
