Answer 2

Answer:

He explained that he was reading a book.

Explanation:

Now changing the sentence from direct to indirect, we need to look at the Rules of Narration, To make the answer correct and Perfect.

Definition of Narration : Using examples

David said, “I’m baking a chocolate cake for you.’’

David said that he was baking a chocolate cake for me.

If we take these two lines into consideration, we might see that they both express the same idea, but if we pay great attention, there is a difference. It is known as direct speech or reporting speech when I use David's (D) exact words to describe his actions in the first phrase. In the second clause, I describe the speaker's (D's) actions to the audience in my own terms. This is what is known as reported speech or indirect communication.
