Correct Answer: (4)


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option " No Improvement" since the sentence is in the reported speech and doesn't need any change.

" They " is the correct plural pronoun that is used in the case of reported speech.

Thus, the correct statement is "He confidently asked the crowd if they thought he was right, and the crowd shouted that they did ".
