She said to them, 'You will be surprised.'

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

When converting direct speech to indirect speech, we make the following changes:

The reporting verb 'said to' changes to 'told'.

The pronoun 'you' changes to 'they' to match the listener ('them').

The verb tense 'will' changes to its past form 'would' because the reporting verb is in the past tense.
