The government has announced, "Taxes will be raised"

  • A.The government has announced that taxes would be raised
  • B.The government has announced that taxes would raised
  • C.The government has announced that taxes will be raised
  • D.The government has announced taxes will be raised

Answer: C

Correct answer: The government has announced that taxes will be raised

Has announced is a present perfect, not a past tense, so it does not trigger backshift - will be raised stays. The announcement also still holds, which is a second reason to keep the future.
