Answer 2

John proclaimed/exclaimed that the sun looked like a ball of fire.

• Indirect speech is a form of speech used when a third person is being informed about an event that has occurred already.
• It has certain rules to be followed and grammatical implications cannot be ignored.
• Certain words etc need to be changed to past tense. Here "looks" has been changed to looked.
• But facts are conveyed in the same way with no alterations made. For example: The Earth is round remains the Earth is round.
• Thus, John said, "The sun looks like a red ball of fire" changes to: John proclaimed/exclaimed that the sun looked like a ball of fire.
