Problem 9 - Entrance Test

Change into indirect speech: The student said, "Why is the library closed today?"

Correct: B

WH-questions in indirect speech use 'asked' and the word order becomes statement order (subject + verb). 'Why is the library closed' becomes 'why the library was closed'. 'Today' changes to 'that day'. The correct answer is: The student asked why the library was closed that day.
