Pembahasan

Dalam soal ini kita diminta untuk melengkapi bagian yang kosong dengan direct and indirect sentences . Untuk soal ini kita harus melengkapi dengan in d irect sentence (kalimat tidak langsung). Dalam soal terdapat kesalahan, kalimat dalam bagian indirect sentence merupakan kalimat direct sentence . Untuk mengubah menjadi indirect sentence , pertama kita lihat reported speech -nya said berubah menjadi said that , kedua kita lihat tense pada direct sentence'he thinks that is a good alternative for us' (present tense) dalam indirect sentence tense yang digunakan berubah menjadi present tense . Untuk modal can berubah could . Kata ganti orang pertama menjadi orang ketiga I---> she. Dalam indirect sentence tidak digunakan tanda petik. Sehingga menjadi She said that shecould not pay for a private school, if he thoughtthat wasa good alternative for us, he should just gaveus the money to pay for those schools. Oleh karena itu, jawabannya adalah She said that she could not pay for a private school, if he thought that was a good alternative for us, he should just gave us the money to pay for those schools.
