Answer 2

Seema asked her how long she had lived there - indirect speech.

Indirect speech

• A sentence in the indirect speech reports the words of the speaker in a reported form. It conveys the same meaning as the speaker but without using the speaker's original words.
• While changing a direct speech to indirect speech, the quotation marks are removed. The conjunction 'that' is used to report the sentence.
• Depending upon the tense of the direct sentence, the tense in the indirect speech changes, like simple present tense will change into simple past tense.
• In the given sentence, the verb is in the simple past tense. Hence, in the reported speech, the verb is changed to past perfect tense using 'had'.
