---
1. Correct! *he would be back at work in six weeks* can be replaced by *this*, and is a noun phrase. It functions as a direct object.  
2. Incorrect. Subject/Verb/Object: Morgan/thought/.... The object is a noun phrase, but it follows the same word order (S/V/Oplace|Otime): he/would be/in the swimming pool/at six o'clock. (Morgan thought he would be in the swimming pool at six o'clock)  
3. Correct! Normal word order: Subject/Verb/Object: The taxi driver/reckoned/.... What did he reckon? That the journey would take 30 minutes. This is a noun phrase, and it takes normal word order.  
4. Incorrect - You probably spotted that one! What should it be? Use normal word order to make an independent clause, with Subject/Verb/Object: Louis/thought/(that/he/would be staying/in a nice hotel).
