      Question

      Rewrite the sentence in Direct Speech. She told

      her mother that she was doing her work.
      A She said to her mother, "I do my work" Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B She said to her mother, "I was doing my work" Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C She said to her mother, "I’m doing my work" Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D She said to her mother, "I have done my work" Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      told is used when two people are mentioned in the reporting speech told is converted to said in the direct speech. Indirect speech  always undergoes a reverse backshift in tense and so was doing which is in past continuous tense will be converted into am doing which is in present continuous. Am is used because I is used.
