Answer» When converting direct speech to reported, the rule is to change the verb to 'told', if a definite SPEAKER and listener are given. 'That' is a conjunction that is used after the verb 'told'; however, if there is an INFINITIVE IMPLIED in the sentence, or if there is another conjunction already present, (here, to), then 'that' is omitted. The only sentence that satisfies these CONDITIONS is OPTION 1. So, that must be the correct answer. |
