Answer:

My sister apologized for telling everyone my secret.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reported (or indirect) speech is a way to express someone's words without explicitly quoting them. The original sentence is an example of direct (quoted) speech, which means that someone's exact words are repeated. An obvious sign of this are the quotation marks. When it comes to the reported speech, these quotation marks are omitted because a direct quotation is no longer present.
