Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rahul said, “I slipped and fell on the marshy land.”
Given sentence: Rahul said that he had slipped and fallen on the marshy land.
Comma and inverted commas are added and the conjunction 'that' is removed.
'he' is changed to 'I.'
As the given sentence is the past perfect tense, it will be changed to simple past tense.
So, 'fallen' is changed to 'fell', and 'had slipped' is changed to 'slipped.'
So, the final sentence is:
Rahul said, “I slipped and fell on the marshy land.”
