Correct Answer: I assured my father that I would complete all the work by the following day.
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
Reported speech involves converting direct speech (spoken words) into indirect speech (reported words).
Narration Conversion:
- The reporting verb "assured" is used to convey the speaker's statement to someone else.
- The tense changes from "will" to "would" in the reported speech.
- The time expression "tomorrow" is replaced with "the following day" to maintain accuracy in the reported context
- The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "I assured my father that I would complete all the work by the following day."
