Correct Answer: The teacher says that every action has an equal and opposite reaction


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • There would be no change in the reporting verb because it is in the present tense.
  • There would be no change in the tense of the reported clause because the statement is a universal truth.
  • The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.

Therefore, the correct answer is: " The teacher says that every action has an equal and opposite reaction."
