Answer:

The teacher asked Divya why she was late.

Explanation:

  • We must switch the sentence in the question from direct speech to indirect speech.
  • Direct speech –

When a speaker's message is reported in his or her exact words, this is happening.

For example, William said ‘I am eating now.

  • Indirect speech-

At this point, we start retelling the speaker's message in our own words.

For example, William said that he was eating then.

The teacher said to Divya, "why are you late"? (change into indirect speech)​

  • The given sentence is in the simple present tense.
  • The sentence is interrogative; therefore, we must use the reporting verbs – asked, enquired, etc.
  • The indirect speech will switch into the past indefinite tense when the reporting verb is in the past (said) and the direct speech is in the present indefinite tense (simple present tense).
  • The Present Indefinite Tense thus becomes the Past Indefinite Tense.
  • Therefore, the sentence will change into

The teacher asked Divya why she was late.
