Discussion
Change into indirect speech: The teacher said, “The earth revolves around the sun.”
Answer: A
Correct answer: The teacher said that the earth revolves around the sun
The usual backshift of tense is suspended for a universal truth or a permanent fact, which stays in the present. Changing revolves to revolved would wrongly suggest the statement is no longer true.
