Correct Answer: The tailor told him that his shirt would be ready by the next day.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • The reporting verb "said" is changed to "told".
  • The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.
  • The second-person pronoun "your" is changed to the third-person pronoun "his".
  • The modal "will" is changed to its past form, "would".

So, the correct sentence would be: "The tailor told him that his shirt would be ready by the next day."
