Answer 2

Answer:

1. He wished that he had had the wings of a bird.

2. Mr. Rahim exclaimed that poor Samira had had terrible cousins.

[ Please note that in exclamatory dialogues, there are several ways to write the indirect speech.

The tense change is important here.

When you make a sentence with 'had,' such as-

She said," I had lunch yesterday,"

it becomes-

She said that she had had lunch the day before. ]
