Answer 2

b. he was -this is the answer.

Explanation:

• The words underlined is 'are coming'. This must be changed and replaced.
• The sentence is in reported speech format. Therefore the sentence must be in past tense.
• The person spoken to is 'him' and so the person 'you' must be changed into 'he'.
• As it should be in past tense, the present continuous form, it must be changed into past continuous form.
• So the underlined word 'are coming' will become 'was coming'.
• Hence option (b) he was is the right answer.
