Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct voice.
The student said that the teacher had explained the lesson clearly.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When converting a sentence from indirect speech (reported speech) to direct speech, the tense of the verb in the reported clause often changes back to its original tense. The original sentence, 'The student said that the teacher had explained the lesson clearly,' uses the past perfect tense ('had explained') in the reported clause. When converting this back to direct speech, the past perfect tense becomes the simple past tense ('explained').
