"I was 15 years old when I won my first national tournament', said M. Jason.

• A. Jason was 15 years old when he won his first national tournament.
• B. I was 15 years old when Jason won the first national tournament.
• C. Jason was the youngest player to win the national tournament.
• D. No change

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Jason was 15 years old when he won his first national tournament.

Option B - 'I was 15 years old when Jason won the first national tournament.' is written in the first person. A biography is never written in the first person. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'Jason was the youngest player to win the national tournament' doesn't explain the fact '15 years'. Thus option C is incorrect.

Option D - The given sentence is written in the first person form and is a direct speech, whereas, a biography has indirect sentences written in the third person form. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option A - 'Jason was 15 years old when he won his first national tournament.' is correct as it is written in the third person form. Thus option A is the correct answer.
