B He told her why she was looking so sad today.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option A

• For an interrogative sentence, 'said to' changes to 'asked'. • The Wh-word 'why' acts as the connector. • The sentence structure changes from interrogative to assertive (subject + verb), so 'are you looking' becomes 'she was looking'. • The tense 'Present Continuous' ('are looking') changes to 'Past Continuous' ('was looking'). • The adverb of time 'today' changes to 'that day'.
