Answer 2

Answer:

‘He told me to have a cup of tea’ is an indirect speech of the given sentence.

Explanation:

In a direct speech, the speaker conveys the information word by word as told by the ‘original speaker’. ‘Direct speech’ refers to the exact quoting of a sentence or a statement as it was said in the first time.  

On the other hand indirect narration involves reporting it in the own words of the speaker and doesn’t require word to word quotation. So in this sentence, the tense has been changed while narrating the given statement in the indirect speech.
