Choose the correct direct sentence of the following sentence.
He said that the committee had decided to postpone the event.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"...the committee had decided..."
the Tense: The verb "had decided" is in the Past Perfect Tense.
Rule: when a statement is in the Past Perfect in direct speech, the tense does not change when converted to indirect speech.
While the Present Perfect (Option A) can also turn into the Past Perfect in indirect speech, that the original statement was intended to be already in the Past Perfect.
