Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct voice.
My friend told me that she had been thinking about quitting her job but that she had not made a final decision yet.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The original reported speech uses the past perfect continuous tense ('had been thinking') and the past perfect tense ('had not made'). When converting reported speech back to direct speech, the tenses shift back one step in time.
Past perfect continuous tense in reported speech comes from the present perfect continuous tense in direct speech ('have been thinking').
Past perfect tense in reported speech comes from the present perfect tense in direct speech ('have not made').
Option B correctly uses these original present tenses within the direct quotation.
