The lawyer, on the other hand, is motivated by his belief, which he expresses eloquently the night of the bet and by the dream of winning a fortune. The lawyer may have rationalized it as two million (valued back then even more than it is today) that he could earn in fifteen years without working.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
The correct answer is:
He <u>asked</u> me to take away <u>his </u>golden jug and fetch <u>him </u>some water from the well, as he <u>was feeling </u>very thirsty.
Explanation:
In this example, we have a sentence that expresses a request, which is called an Imperative sentence.
So, in this case, we introduced his request with the verb ask in Past Simple tense, and because of that the rest of the sentence is also changed into the <u>past tense</u>.
When the verb in the <u>Direct Speech</u> appears in Present Simple, in the <u>Indirect Speech</u> it will change to Past Simple.
On the other hand, when the verb in the <u>Direct Speech</u> appears in Present Continuous, in the <u>Indirect Speech</u> it will change to Past Continuous.
Also, we have changed the 1st person pronoun into 3rd person pronoun, according to the subject of the reporting speech – in this case, it is HE.
