Ans 7:

Advika Narkar from The Shishukunj International School, Jhalaria Campus, Indore
Class : Class 8
The correct answer for the above questions should be Option D. This is because while converting a sentence from direct speech to indirect speech, the tense of the sentence changes when the reporting verb is in the past tense. Here, as the reporting verb is "said", the tense will change. Therefore, the sentence will be reported as "Manohar said that he would come home late that night." This is not given in any of the options. Thus, the answer will be Option D:None of these.
