Answer 1

The city planner said that the new park was a result of several months of research and planning. The residents expressed their excitement, stating that they were unsure who was more excited - they or the children.

Explanation:

• The phrase "is a result" (present tense) in direct speech should change to "was a result" (past tense) in reported speech to maintain proper sequence of tenses.
• The rest of the sentence remains unchanged while ensuring grammatical correctness in reported speech.
