Respuesta :

i think the answer is c

Answer:

C. Rockwell says that his pictures communicate the kinder view of life.

Explanation:

This is the answer that best sequences the verbs. The original statement that Rockwell utters places his pictures in the present. He tells us that this is how his pictures are at this moment. In order to show this idea, his statement is in the present tense. Therefore, in the indirect quotation, we should also employ the present tense if we want to convey the same idea.
