Answer 2

My mother adviced that we should always speak the truth. This is the answer.

Converting to indirect speech:

• The words uttered by a person can be reported in two different ways.
• Direct and Indirect.
• When one quotes the exact words of the speaker, we call it direct speech.
• On converting a statement to indirect speech the reporting verb said is converted to told, informed, adviced etc.
• Hence the correct answer is: My mother adviced that we should always speak the truth
