Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Ross told Rachel that they had been on a break.
Option 3 is correct because:
As the reporting verb is in past tense, Simple past tense (were) changes to past perfect tense (had been).
First person pronoun (we) changes to "they".
The correct sentence will be: Ross told Rachel that they had been on a break.
