Jim promised he would come the following day.

a. I will come tomorrow, promised Jim.

b. I will come tomorrow, Jim promised.

c. Jim promised he would come the following day.

d. Jim promised to come the following day.

Answer 1

The correct direct speech conversion of 'Jim promised he would come the following day.' is 'I will come tomorrow,' promised Jim.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to convert a sentence from reported speech to direct speech. In this case, the reported speech reads "Jim promised he would come the following day." To change this into direct speech, we need to convey Jim's exact words. The correct transformation would be into option a, which reads: "I will come tomorrow," promised Jim.

This restores the original timing and person of the speech from Jim's perspective. The other options maintain some form of reported speech or do not properly revert to direct speech conventions.
