Answer 2

Change the narration:

He said that she wanted a job.

Explanation:

• The sentence is given as direct speech which is changed into reported speech.
• The direct speech is made into indirect speech with "that" in the sentence.
• The word "wants" is converted into "wanted" in reported speech.
• The present tense in the direct speech is converted into past tense in indirect speech. If the direct speech is in past tense, it is converted into past participle.
