Correct Answer:
B. They said that they would visit London the following week.
When converting direct speech to indirect speech, several changes occur. The pronouns shift from first person to third person, tenses usually move one step back into the past, and time/place expressions are adjusted.
- Correct Option (B): "They said that they would visit London the following week." This correctly changes "We" to "they," "will visit" to "would visit" (past conditional), and "next week" to "the following week."
- Distractor (A): Fails to change "we" and "next week."
- Distractor (C): Fails to change "will" and "next week."
- Distractor (D): Uses an incorrect tense "were visit" and fails to change "we" and "next week."
