Correct Answer: You said to me, "I've made all the plans, and your trip will be very smooth. I have confirmed tickets for all your flights."


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Narration Conversion:

  • The verb told is changed to said in the direct speech.
  • The third-person pronoun you is changed to the first-person pronoun I in the first clause.
  • The past perfect sentence is changed to the present perfect tense. Thus, had is changed to have followed by the past participle form of the verb.

Therefore, the sentence in the direct form is: You said to me, "I've made all the plans, and your trip will be very smooth. I have confirmed tickets for all your flights."
