Answer 2

Answer:

He reported the man's death.

Explanation:

the given sentence is a complex sentence, as it has two main clauses (he reported, the man had died) and a coordinating conjunction (that).

the given sentence has two finite verbs (reported,died)

so, lets get straight to the point.

in order to convert the sentence into a simple sentence, we should change the sentence to have only one finite verb.

so we have to convert the second finite verb into a noun in order to have only one finite verb in the resulting sentence.

the noun form of the second finite verb(died) in the given sentence is death.

so the verb is converted to a noun and the first part of the given sentence remains the same (he reported)

the second part of the sentence (the man had died) is adjusted according to the noun form(death) as" the man's death.".

 that is how we get the sentence "he reported the man's death" which is in the simple form
