Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The teacher told Anu that she was very disappointed with her work.

Given sentence: The teacher said to Anu, “I am very disappointed with your work.”

Remove commas and inverted commas, and add conjunction that.

'said to' is changed to 'told.'

First-person pronouns and second-person pronouns are changed according to the subject and object of the reporting verb respectively.

So, the final sentence is:

The teacher told Anu that she was very disappointed with her work.
