Choose the most appropriate option to change the narration (direct/indirect) of the given sentence.
"Why is everybody leaving so early today?" said the manager.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The manager asked why everybody was leaving so early that day.

As the sentence is in Interrogative we need to change it into assertive (subject + verb + object).

"Today" should be changed into "That Day".

Tense should be changed into past tense form present tense.

As all these changes can be found in the chosen option, it will be correct.
