Solution
The correct answer is B. Jullie told her friends that they were wasting their time.
Here's the step by step explanation:
- The sentence is in Direct Speech where Jullie is addressing her friends directly.
- In Indirect Speech, the pronoun changes according to the subject or object of the reporting verb. Here, "You" changes to "They" because Jullie is referring to her friends.
- The tense of the verb also changes in Indirect Speech. Here, "are wasting" changes to "were wasting" because in indirect speech, present tense changes to past tense.
- Therefore, the sentence "Jullie said to her friends, "You all are wasting your time."" changes to "Jullie told her friends that they were wasting their time." in Indirect Speech.
