Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The most appropriate option to express the given sentence in reported speech is:
She said that she knew where he lived.
The other options are incorrect:
- She said that she knew where he living. - This is incorrect because the present participle "living" should be the past participle "lived".
- She said I know where he lived. - This is incorrect because the pronoun "I" should be "she".
- She said she had knowledge of where he lived. - This is incorrect because the phrase "had knowledge of" is more formal than the verb "knew".
