In the sentence below, a part of the sentence has been given in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. Wherever no improvement is needed, choose ‘No correction required’ as the answer.

The teacher asked the students to submit their assignments by Friday, he also told them that he would not accept any late submissions.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is “ told them that he would not be accepting any late submissions”. The sentence is in the past tense, and it refers to an event in the future relative to the past, so the correct form of the verb to use is the future in the past, which is 'would not be accepting'.
Option (a) told them that he will not accept any late submissions - This is incorrect because it uses the future tense "will" in reported speech, whereas the original sentence uses the past tense "told" and "would" to express the conditional aspect of not accepting late submissions.
Option (c) told them that he will not be accepting any late submissions - This is incorrect because it uses the present continuous tense "will be accepting" in reported speech, which is not appropriate for reporting a past event.
Option (d) tell them that he will not be accepting any late submissions - This is incorrect because it uses the present tense "tell" instead of the past tense "told" for reported speech.
Hence, the sentence formed will be "The teacher asked the students to submit their assignments by Friday, he also told them that he would not be accepting any late submissions."
