              The rule is to backshift the tense, so \"is going\" becomes \"was going\". Your child's version would be correct if the direct speech is:

              Belle said, \"I will be going out tomorrow.\"

                    2) You mistyped the last choice 4 as 1. Anyway, choices 1 and 3 are clearly out. But it may be debatable whether it's 4 or 2. I would ask the setter or author to explain the answer 😉

                    3) pulled down
