--explanation--

In reported speech, to explain is used when someone gives a reason or makes something clear. For example:

  • Direct speech: The server went down because of a power issue.

  • Reported speech: She explained that the server went down due to a power issue.

A system component is a part or piece of a larger system, usually in computers or networks. For example:

The login module is a key system component for user access. – This means it is one of the essential parts of the system.
