If the verb in the independent clause is in the present tense, the tense that the verb in the indirect quotation should be is <span>remain in its original tense. 
</span>You don't have to shift tenses because it is present in the independent one.
For example:
He says: "I need to wash my hair."
He says that he needs to wash his hair.
You wouldn't say - he says that he needed to wash his hair.

Which is the best summary of the passage below?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

I think it's C. The monster is torn between good and evil.

Explanation:

In A. The word exhibited is present, which means that the monster publicly shows his good and bad deeds. This can't be the answer cuz people don't see the good sides in the monster.

This also applies to B because it says the word "show"

So C makes more sense

Hope it's right!!!
