The sentence given is:
"My uncle told me, 'I have a large house and you are welcome to the protection it offers'."
To report this speech in the past tense correctly, we must:
Shift the tense of verbs one step back.
Change pronouns appropriately.
So:
"I have" → he had
"you are welcome" → I was welcome
"it offers" → it offered
Thus, the correct reported version is:
"My uncle told me that he had a large house, and I was welcome to the protection it offered."
Correct Option: D
"he had a large house , and i was welcome to the protection it offered"
structurally it's the best answer grammatically.
I picked option D, yet i was marked wrong only to come to this link to find out that i was correct.......
I demand an explanation please
Answer should be E. Her uncle still has a large house so It can not be 'had' which will be implying that the uncle is no longer in possession of this house.
