Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

"It's a cold day today!" cried the old lady.

The old lady exclaimed that it was cold that day.

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

The old lady exclaimed that it was cold that day.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

• The old lady exclaims that it was cold that day. The reporting verb "exclaims" should be in the past tense, "exclaimed".
• The old lady exclaimed that it was cold yesterday. The reported clause is in the present tense, but it should be in the past tense to indicate that the old lady is exclaiming about the weather today.
• The old lady exclaim that that were cold that day. The pronoun "that" should be "it", and the verb "were" should be "was" to agree with the subject, "it".
