Help the party planner correctly report Sandra's rather unusual kitchen activities. Choose the grammatically correct reported statement.

Sandra told me, "I am baking a tuna cake for my dog today."

The correct answer is Sandra told me that she was baking a tuna cake for her dog that day.

When reporting a statement from the past, the present continuous tense ("am baking") shifts back to the past continuous ("was baking"). Additionally, time expressions change: "today" becomes "that day."

Note that "said me" is incorrect because the verb say cannot be followed directly by a personal object without to (it should be "said to me" or "told me").
