Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. She said that she had called the day before, but there was no response.
- Change the pronoun "I" to "she" to match the subject of the reporting sentence with the original speaker.
- Change "there" to "here" if the reported speech refers to the same location or context as the reporting speech.
- Change "called" to "had called" to shift the past tense back one step in reported speech.
- Change "was" to "was" to keep it in the past tense.
- Change "yesterday" to "the day before" to reflect the change in the time reference.
