Correct Answer: I told her that I was not very happy at work.
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- The reporting verb "said" is changed to "told".
- The auxiliary verb "am" is changed to its past form, "was".
- The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.
- There would be no change in the pronoun, as there is no change in the person.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: " I told her that I was not very happy at work."
