一道SC题，困惑 求解

ozymendias

Although the manager agreed to a more flexible work schedule, he said that it must be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor will know what everyone is assigned to do.
(A) he said that it must be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor will know what everyone is
(B) he said it had to be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor knows what everyone is
(C) he said that they would have to post the assignments on the bulletin board so that management and labor knew what everyone was
(D) he said that the schedule would have to be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor would know what everyone was
(E) saying that the schedule had to be posted on the bulletin board so that both management and labor would know what everyone had been


答案是A，
我的疑惑是这里用will...is...正确吗？难道不是would。。。was。。。？
我选了D，虽然重复了schedule很wordy。
求高人指点。

B。had to be和must意思不一样，在GMAT中，尽量保持原题的情态动词；knows应该要用复数形式，因为主语是both management and labor是符合主语，复数
C。they无指代对象
D。the schedule重复，笨拙
E。saying导致although后面的句子缺成分；
楼主：你看看08版笔记上，我不太确定，但是据我做题的经验来看，大部分情况，如果没有明确的指示词的话要维持原句的重心、情态动词和时态的。
