The correct answer is '3' i.e. She said that she would meet me at the park the following day .

Key Points

  • When converting direct speech to indirect speech, the tense of the verb changes depending on the reporting verb.
  • In this sentence, the reporting verb is in the past tense (she said), so the future tense (will) in the direct speech changes to would in the indirect speech.
  • The word tomorrow is replaced with the following day in indirect speech to indicate time more appropriately.

Correct sentence: She said that she would meet me at the park the following day.

Additional Information

  • Direct Speech to Indirect Speech Rules:
    • Will changes to would.
    • Tomorrow changes to the following day.
    • Pronouns are adjusted based on context (e.g., you changes to me in this case).
  • Example:
    • Direct: "I will call you tomorrow," he said.
    • Indirect: He said that he would call me the following day.
