Answers
The correct answer is:
The poet said that she was more temperate.
You need to pay attention to the following points:
The words 'Thou' and 'art' are words from old English. These words are not used anymore, but we need to know the meaning of these words in order to answer this question. 'Thou' means 'you' and 'art' means 'are'.
So the original sentence can be written as "You are more temperate", said the poet.
This line has been taken from John Donne's poem, 'Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?' The poet is addressing his wife. So here 'Thou' or 'you' is the poet's wife. Therefore, 'thou' will change to 'she'.
Changing the narration of this sentence, we arrive at our answer:
The poet said that she was more temperate.
