Answer 1

The correct option is B Liliane asked if I had any suggestions for the activities we can do in the Sahara desert.

When we converted the sentence from direct speech to reported speech, we replaced the verb ‘do’ with ‘if’. The word ‘if’ is used to indicate the choice of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in an informal situation. The pronoun ‘you’ changed to ‘I’ and the verb in present tense ‘have’ changed to the verb in past tense ‘had’.
