Correct Answer: The manager said that the meeting had been scheduled for the next day.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Narration Conversion:

  • That is used to introduce the reported clause.
  • The present perfect tense (has been scheduled) is changed to the past perfect tense (had been scheduled).
  • Inverted commas are removed.

Therefore, the indirect form would be: The manager said that the meeting had been scheduled for the next day.
