He said, "I am glad to be here this evening".

  • A.He said that I am glad to be here this evening.
  • B.He said that he was glad to be here this evening.
  • C.He exclaimed that he was glad to here this evening.
  • D.None of the above

Answer: D

The answer is None of the above.

In reported speech the pronoun, tense and words of place and time all shift: I becomes he, am becomes was, here becomes there, and this evening becomes that evening. The correct form is: He said that he was glad to be there that evening.

The first option changes nothing. The second changes the pronoun and tense but keeps here this evening. The third uses exclaimed, which the plain statement does not justify, and drops the verb be. Since none is right, the last option is.
