Which one is wrong? A) Reported speech

= Mrs. Miller said that they were going to spend their summer holiday in Cornwall.
2. The newspaper report said, "last week Hurricane George destroyed lots of houses".
= The newspaper said that the week before Hurricane George had destroyed lots of houses.
3. Sally complained, "my sister always uses my T-shirts without asking me first. I think this is annoying.
= Sally complained that her sister always used her T-shirts without asking her first. She thought it was annoying.
B) IF- clauses
1. If Peter had worked harder he........a better mark. (get)
