Rajan said, "O that I were a child again !"
Answer: C
Correct answer: Rajan strongly wished that he had been a child again.
O that I were…! is an optative - a wish for something contrary to fact - so it is reported with wished, and the subjunctive were moves back to had been. Exclaimed with wonder and prayed both misname the speech act.
