Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct voice.
The manager told the team that their hard work and dedication had been noticed and appreciated.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The original sentence is in indirect speech and uses the past perfect tense ('had been noticed and appreciated'). To convert this to direct speech, the verb tense within the inverted comma must be changed to the present perfect tense ('have been noticed and appreciated') to match the original timeframe of the manager's statement.
Option A incorrectly keeps the past perfect tense, and option C incorrectly keeps the pronoun 'their' instead of changing it to 'your' when directly addressing the team.
