Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. My son told me that he would not disappoint me.
- This option is correct because it works accordingly with the rules of narration, firstly by changing the tense to it's corresponding past form using 'told' and 'would'. Secondly, it changes the person to it's third person perspective, altogether making the sentence wholly accurate.
