Dear Sir,
The parts highlighted in Brown in paragraph ( B ) and ( C ) are
grammatically correct.
How about the parts highlighted in Brown in paragraph ( A ) and ( D ), are they also grammatically correct?
Is "
to" means "
according to" In paragraph ( A ) and ( D ). If so, can
said be placed at the end of the phrase?

to two people briefed on the proposal said. Taxpayer money would not have been included in such a deal, they said.
