    Explanation

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "he thought it was, it was". In reported speech, we change the verb tense and pronouns to match the original speaker's perspective. In this case, Dave originally said "I think it's excellent", so when reporting his statement, we change "I" to "he" and "think" to "thought". Additionally, the pronoun "it" remains the same in reported speech. Therefore, the correct reported speech sentence is "Dave said that he thought it was excellent."

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "would get". In reported speech, we use "would" to express future possibility or likelihood.

Therefore, in reported speech, person B would say "He added that he was sure the actress would get an award for it."
