      B Her mother said she had been planning a party for celebrating her promotion. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Her mother says that they should plan a party to celebrate her promotion. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Her mother told that they would be having a party to celebrate her promotion. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Option 1 is correct because the modal verb "must" can stay the same in reported speech, and the pronouns are appropriately shifted from "we" to "they" and "your" to "her."
