Question

Read and tap the correct sentence in reported speech. James said to me, 'The painting on the wall is mine.'

• A. James told me that the painting on the wall was mine.
• B. James told me that the painting on the wall was his.

Answer 1

The correct option is B James told me that the painting on the wall was his.

The possessive pronoun 'mine' changes to 'his' because the speaker in direct speech is male.
