Correct Answer: They said that they would not be leaving the police station without justice.


Solution : The correct answer is option 4.

They said that they would not be leaving the police station without justice.

Explanation:

The reporting verb used here is in the past tense.

The indirect form of "will be" becomes "would be" in the Future Continuous tense.

Additionally, the pronoun "we" will be changed to "they."

As a result, choice 4 is the right response.

Direct: They said, "We will not be leaving the police station without justice".

Indirect: They said that they would not be leaving the police station without justice.
