Relative clause confusion
I just took an English test today. One of the questions in the test required rewriting a sentence to make a new one so that it has the same meaning with the original sentence.
So, here is the question :
Rewrite the following sentence using the word(s) given or the cues given in brackets.
The lecturer is my uncle. He gave me an interesting talk on TV last night. (Using Who/Which/ That)
--> The lecturer is my uncle, who gave an interesting talk on TV last night. (This is the one I wrote)
--> The lecturer who gave an interesting talk on TV last night is my uncle. (Others said this one is correct)
I'm really confused about whether the first or the second sentence is grammatically correct, since both make sense to me. Please help me on this! Thank you!

Are you sure the sentence you were given included the word 'me'? Or did you just make a typing mistake?
