What is the correct reported speech of: She said, “I visited the museum.”

1. She said that she visits the museum.
2. She said that she has visited the museum.
3. She said that she had visited the museum.
4. She said that she will visit the museum.

Correct answer: She said that she had visited the museum.

Solution

In indirect speech, the reporting verb 'said' is in the past, so the past simple 'visited' changes to past perfect 'had visited'. The pronoun 'I' also changes to 'she'.
