Answer 2

Answer:

The reported speech -

She asked Tommy why anyone would write about school.

Explanation:

• Reported (Indirect reports) speech of wh-questions consist of a reporting clause, and a reported clause starting with a wh-word such as who, what, when, where, why, and how).

• While changing narration, we use no question marks.

• And the reported clause follows the statement form (subject + verb), not in question form.
• Since it is a wh- question, we can use the reported verb "asked".

• So applying the rules of indirect narration, the given statement would be changed as-
• She asked (reporting verb) Tommy why anyone(s) would(v) write about school.    

Therefore the correct form of reported speech would be-

She asked Tommy why anyone would write about school.
