The contractor did not keep his promise that the work will be finished before the end of the week.

  • A.shall
  • B.could
  • C.would
  • D.No improvement is required.

Answer: C

It should read would.

The promise was made in the past, so the reported will becomes would. The rule of tense sequence applies to a noun clause after a past verb just as it does to reported speech.
