What are reporting statement and its information in detail.​
beks73 [17]

Answer: Reporting statements is relatively easy. The most common verb used to report statements is tell.

As a general rule, the changes in the tense of the reported speech depend upon the tense of the reporting verb in the direct speech. Thus when the reporting verb is in the past tense, the tense of the reported verb also changes to past tense.

Example

He said, ‘I want to go.’

He said that he wanted to go.

English 6 EXPLAIN giving brainliest to the correct answer​
Katen [24]

Answer:

B. The weather was frigid in Minnesota; it wasn't warm at all.

Explanation:

An antonym is the opposite word or meaning of a given word. It gives the exact opposite or different meaning of what is implied by a word.

In the context of the word "frigid", the antonym will be "warm, hot, pleasant," etc. And among the given statements, sentence B uses the antonym context of the word "frigid". While the other three statements give the implication of the coldness of Minnesota, the second sentence uses the antonym "warm" to add a different aspect of the coldness of the place.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
