Model Answer

that he would report every morning at 7 a.m. sharp.

Explanation

In reported speech, the pronoun "I" changes to "he" (matching the subject of the reporting verb), and "will" changes to "would" (backshift of tense). The reporting verb "affirmed" indicates a positive statement, so no question structure is needed — just complete the clause naturally.
