Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Transformation from direct to indirect speech:
Reporting Verb: Since the reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, the tense of the reported speech must change.
Pronoun Change: The first-person possessive pronoun "Our" changes to the third-person possessive "their" to match the subject "They."
Tense Change: The future tense "will" changes to its past form, "would."
Time Adverb Change: In indirect speech, "tomorrow" typically changes to "the next day" or "the following day."
Indirect speech: They said that their teacher would explain the topic the next day.
