He added, ‘My wheelchair can detect obstacles and avoid them.’

• A. <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> He added that her wheelchair could detect obstacles and avoid them.
• B. <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> He added that his wheelchair could detect obstacles and avoid them.

Answer 1

The correct option is B <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> He added that his wheelchair could detect obstacles and avoid them.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The speaker, Saran, is of the masculine gender. Therefore, while converting the sentence into reported speech, the possessive adjective 'his' is used to indicate possession of the noun, 'wheelchair'.
