Choose the most appropriate replacement for the highlighted phrase to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. The airline said in a statement that it will ensure that requests for refunds are processed within three days.

1. they will ensure
2. it will insure
3. it will have ensure
4. it would ensure

Correct answer: it would ensure

Solution

Since the reporting verb is in the past tense, the future tense in direct speech is usually backshifted to 'would' in reported speech. 'Ensure' is also the correct verb because it means to make certain, whereas 'insure' relates to insurance. Therefore, 'it would ensure' is the best replacement.
