Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. The manager said that Vivek must go the following day to meet the client.
- It is necessary to indicate the same sense in both instances (direct and indirect speech). This sentence implies an indirect sense of similar meaning by using 'the following day' eventually meaning synonymously as 'tomorrow' in the direct speech. Hence, this specific feature makes this option the correct answer. The tense is also accurately portrayed by this sentence.
