Options:

She said that she'll saw me the next day.

She said that she would see me the next day.

She said if she would see her the next day.

She asked that she would saw me tomorrow.

Correct Answer:

She said that she would see me the next day.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - She said that she would see me the next day.

  1. Tense Change:

    • Direct: "I will see you tomorrow."
    • Indirect: "She said that she would see me the next day."
    • "Will" changes to "would" in indirect speech.
  2. Pronoun Changes:

    • "I" → "she" (as per the subject "She")
    • "you" → "me" (as per the listener)
  3. Time Change:

    • "Tomorrow" → "the next day"

OTHER OPTIONS

  •  "She said that she'll saw me the next day." → Wrong verb form ("she'll" should be "she would" & "saw" should be "see").
  •  "She said if she would see her the next day." → "If" is unnecessary here.
  •  "She asked that she would saw me tomorrow." → Incorrect verb tense & "asked" is wrong; "said" should be used.
