Hi

I believe "he said that" is indirect speech. As I understand "must" gets replaced with "had to" in indirect speech, and "will" with "would".

Option A has both must and will. So, how is this option correct.

Thanks

Hey thanks a lot mals24. This really helped. I spent quite a lot of time figuring why D was wrong. Glad to know that it is not :)

BTW, how did you search this one. I typed the first 3 words in the search tab, and did not find this.
