Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: She said that she loved chocolate.
Concept: Indirect Speech Tense Shift.

Solution: Simple present 'love' backshifts to Simple Past 'loved' following past reporting verb 'said'.

Why other options are incorrect:
  • Options A & D: Change reporting verb to present 'says'.

  • Option B: Fails to backshift verb 'love' to 'loved'.
