Explanation

Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words. 

To change future tense in indirect speech, remove inverted commas and use 'that' as a conjunction. 

Both shall and will normally become would. 'Tomorrow' is changed to 'the following day' 

In the given sentence, 'shall' cannot be changed to should as the speech is not reported by the original speaker. It would change to 'would'. Thus, option C is the correct answer according to the rules.

Explanation

Speech is a great blessing but it can it can also be a great curse; for while it helps us to make our intentions and desires known to our fellows, it can also, if we use it carelessly, make our attitude completely misunderstood. A slip of the tongue, the use of an unusual word, of an an ambiguous word, and so on, may create an enemy where we had hoped to win a friend.
