Answer 1

The correct option is C <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Aisha said that Arjun was dancing in the corridor.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The option ‘Aisha said that Arjun was dancing in the corridor.’ means the same as the given sentence in direct speech because it is reported in past tense. This is because Arjun dancing in the corridor is not a universal truth and can change with time, place, or speaker. Hence, it is reported in the past tense.
