Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The answer is "Manan told me that Tarun had broken the flower vase".

The form alters when using reported or indirect speech. The verb said is frequently used to begin indirect discourse, as in "I said," "Bill said," or "they said." The past tense of the verb say denotes that something was previously said. In these situations, the reported sentence's main verb is shifted into the past. The tense moves to another past tense if the main verb is already in the past, which is practically perceived as going even further back in time.

Here the reporting verb is in past tense which is "said". So the reported veb will be changes according to this.According to the narration rule, if both the verbs are in past tense then reported verb will be converted to past perfect tense.

Therefore the correct sentense is "Manan told me that Tarun had broken the flower vase".
