The correct answer is: The declarations which came out from that office were not dependable. 

Key Points

  • The sentence is in the present tense, so we need to change the verb to its past tense form.
  • "Come out" becomes "came out" in the past tense.
  • "Are not dependable" becomes "were not dependable" in the past tense.
  • The final sentence in the past tense is "The declarations which came out from that office were not dependable."

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

Additional Information

  • Option 1: This option changes the sentence to future tense, which is not what the question is asking for.
  • Option 2: This option does not change the tense correctly to past tense.
  • Option 3: The last part is in the present tense, which is not what the question is asking for.
