Answer 1

The correct option is B <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Max told his friends that they were invited to the party.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Here, the pronoun ‘you’ changes to ‘they’ as 'Max' addresses more than one person, which does not include the reporter.
