Question

a) The priest said that God was great.

b) The priest said that God is great.

c) The priest told that God is great.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) The priest said that God is great.

Explanation: Even though sentences in the present tense change to simple past on converting it from active to passive voice, this is an exception because it is a universal truth. Such an exception is also valid for facts such as:

The teacher said "The Earth is spherical.", which is a fact, so it will change to:

The teacher said that the Earth is spherical.
