    Solution

    Indirect speaking is a method of relaying what someone has said without using their precise words. It is frequently preceded by a verb like “said,” “told,” or “asked.” According to the rules have+beein+ing changes into had+been+ing and said to her changes into told her preceeded by a verb like that.
