    sentence.  Madhuri told me that I could stay in her flat whenever I was in Kolkata.
    A Madhuri said to me, “I could stay in her flat whenever I was in Kolkata.” Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Madhuri said to me, “You could stay in her flat whenever she was in Kolkata.” Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Madhuri said to me, “I can stay in my flat whenever I am in Kolkata.” Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Madhuri said to me, “You can stay in my flat whenever you are in Kolkata.” Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    This form maintains the same subject (me) and accurately reflects Madhuri's statement by using the pronoun "you" to refer to the person being addressed (me) and "my flat" to indicate that it is Madhuri's flat. The use of "can" reflects the possibility or permission for the person to stay in the flat when they are in Kolkata.
