Answer 1

The correct option is D <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Ritu said that her brother had sung songs in many languages.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The correct answer is ‘Ritu said that her brother had sung songs in many languages’. This is because in reported speech the word ‘that’ is used after ‘said’, the pronoun ‘my’ is changed to ‘her’ and the present perfect tense ‘have sung’ is changed to past perfect tense ‘had sung’.
