Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. He said that they would be using his car for the trip.
- As the reported speech is in "assertive sentence" we need to make changes according to this.
- "my car" will be changed into "his car".
- The inverted comma will be changed into "that".
- "will" will be changed into "would".
As all the rules are followed by the chosen option it will be correct.
