Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. She said that she would finish reading the novel that day.
-
Remove the quotation marks.
-
Change "will finish" to "would finish" to reflect the future-in-the-past tense in indirect speech.
-
"Today" is converted to "that day" to fit the context of indirect speech.
So, the indirect form is: "She said that she would finish reading the novel that day."
