Correct Answer: The teacher was happy to meet her and asked when she had completed all those.
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
Reported speech, or indirect speech, is the form of speech used to convey what was said by someone at some point in time.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- There would be no change in the reporting verb.
- The second-person pronoun "you" is changed to the third-person pronoun "she".
- The simple past tense "did study" is changed to the past perfect tense "had completed".
Therefore, the correct answer is: "The teacher was happy to meet her and asked when she had completed all those."
