Answer 2

(1) She said, "You have been late. Everybody's here already." The correct option is (i) She said that I had been late and everybody was there already.

Explanation:

• 'Have been' would be modified to 'had been' if we were changing direct speech to indirect speech. In direct speaking, the word 'here' should be replaced with 'there.'
• The present tense is used for direct communication, while the past tense is used for indirect discourse. 'Is' has also been altered to 'was.' The following are the measures to take:

        1. Make a list of the reporting verbs that are used to determine the                           tense of indirect speech.

        2. Adjust the speaker's position and time to match the speaker's  current location and time.

        3. Use the correct pronoun for both the object and the subject.
