Mary said to Robert, "Let him come, then we shall see."

  • A.Mary said to Robert that if he came, they would see him.
  • B.Mary told Robert that they shall see him if he came.
  • C.Mary told Robert that once he came, they would see him.
  • D.Mary told Robert that they would see him if he might come.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Mary told Robert that once he came, they would see him.

Let him come is a proposal to wait and see, and once he came reports it as a condition of time. Shall then becomes would. The option using might come adds a doubt the original does not express, and shall see leaves the modal unshifted.
