Jawaban : b. He asked her why she was staring at his feet.

Soal meminta untuk mengubah kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak langsung.

Kalimat soal adalah "Why are you staring at my feet?" (Mengapa kamu melihat kaki saya?)

Kalimat tersebut merupakan kalimat dengan pola Present Continuous Tense ditandai oleh to be 'are' dan kata kerja V-ing yaitu 'staring'. Oleh karena itu, pada kalimat tidak langsung menggunakan Past Continuous Tense.

Rumus Continuous Tense : S + was/were + V-ing + O/C.

Langkah-langkah mengubah kalimat langsung menjadi kalimat tidak langsung adalah sebagai berikut:
1. Letakan reporting verb yaitu 'He asked her'.
2. Tambahkan kata 'why'.
3. Subjek 'you' diubah menjadi 'she'.
4. Tambahkan to be 'was'.
5. Tambahkan kata kerja V-ing yaitu 'staring'.
6. Tambahkan keterangan 'at his feet'.

Berdasarkan langkah-langkah tersebut, diperoleh kalimat tidak langsung "He asked her why she was staring at his feet". (Dia bertanya mengapa dia melihat kakinya.)

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah :  b. He asked her why she was staring at his feet.

Why are you staring at my feet? a. he asked her why she is staring at his feet. b. he asked her why she was staring at his feet. c. he asked her why was she staring at his feet. d. he asked her why is she staring at his feet.
