Question

c) Mr. Shankar said it gave him immense pleasure to be there that evening.

(Change into direct speech)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).

In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.

In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.

Option C is correct as the instruction in the inverted commas is in the simple present tense and that's why 'to be quiet' is used.

Options A, B, and D are wrong as 'told','said' cannot be used, and 'hot' is missing respectively.

The correct answer is C) Mohan ordered the servant to bring a hot cup of tea.
