answer: b

Answer 2

Option(b)The landlord warned me to leave if I couldn’t pay the rent.

• The question is indirect speech and we have to convert it into indirect speech.
• Indirect speech is not clear and straightforward but still, we use it while communicating with others.
• From the options, the ask will be omitted because the direct sentence is not an interrogative sentence.
• The landlord didn't ask him but made him aware of the payment.
• The use warned clearly sounds like a threat or aware that without paying the fees he cannot leave the house.
