Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Teacher asked me the reason FOR  my coming late. OR

Teacher asked me why I had come late.

In case a wh- question is in quotes, you need to use it immediately after the reporting verb (asked me) in Indirect Speech.

After the word reason, please do not use why. It is a common error.
