Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: She applauded him saying that he had done well.
Explanation: ā Correct Answer: C) She applauded him saying that he had done well. š Explanation: When an exclamatory sentence uses 'Bravo!', it expresses praise. In reported speech, this is best conveyed using the verb 'applauded'. The reporting verb shift follows the rule where 'have done' (present perfect) changes to 'had done' (past perfect). Both options A and C are grammatically strong, but C is the most concise idiomatic choice.
