The correct answer is option 1) Key Points In affirmative sentences, Reporting verb 'said' in 'direct sentence' is written as it is in 'indirect sentence', i.e. 'said' in indirect speech. 'that' is written in place of 'inverted commas'. In reported speech, first-person ( here 'I') is changed according to the subject of reporting speech, i.e. 'She'. In reported speech, third-person pronoun ( Here, 'he') is unchanged in indirect speech. So, write 'he' in indirect speech. In complex sentences, the past simple and past continuous may remain unchanged if the temporal relationship between the events in the clauses is clear from the context: John: When I got home, I went to bed straight away. John told me that when he got home he went to bed straight away. The correct sentence is: She said that she cooked vegetables and he fried rice.
