"I'll clean up the room later", she said. Reported speech: she said she ________ up the room later.would cleanwill cleanwill be cleaningcleans

To convert direct speech into reported speech, you must consider the verb tense and how it changes. In this example, the sentence "I'll clean up the room later" is in the present tense (simple future). When reporting this, you typically change the pronoun and the verb tense accordingly.

Options Analysis

1. would clean - This option is correct as it reflects the change from "will" to "would" when moving to reported speech.
2. will clean - This option is incorrect because "will" does not change in reported speech unless you want to maintain a future sense, which is not common in this context.
3. will be cleaning - This option implies a continuous action that does not align with the original sentence's intent.
4. cleans - This option suggests a habitual action and is not appropriate for future intentions.

Conclusion

The correct answer to complete the sentence in reported speech is: she said she would clean up the room later.
