Answer 1

The correct option is C <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Lily told James that he should spend some time with Jack.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Here, Lily is only addressing James. So, the subject pronoun ‘you’ changes to ‘he’ based on gender and the number of people.
