My parents said that they -------------- a large amount of money for my education.

Correct answer: A

A
were to have saved
Correct
B
were to save
C
were must to save
D
were have to save
Explanation and memory cue

The phrase 'were to have saved' is a correct grammatical construction known as the past-subjunctive perfect infinitive. It is used to express a hypothetical or unreal past action that was expected or supposed to happen but did not actually occur. This fits the context of the sentence, which talks about a past expectation or obligation regarding saving money for education. The other options are either grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended past hypothetical meaning properly.
