Mr Mohan said, ‘I feel optimistic about winning the game on Monday'.

Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The correct answer is ‘Mr Mohan said that he felt optimistic about winning the game on Monday’. Since we are reporting Mr Mohan’s statement from the past, we change the verb ‘feel’ to ‘felt’ in the reported speech. The other option is incorrect because the verb remains ‘feel’ and hasn’t been changed to ‘felt’.
