Sneha said to me, “I was watching TV.”

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Sneha told me that she had been watching TV.

Explanation:

  • We have to interchange the subject and object when we change a sentence from Active voice to Passive voice.
  • Present Tense changes to Past Tense.
  • In the above-mentioned sentence, "Said" changes to "told"; 'I' changes to 'She'; 'was' chages to 'had been'.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
