Question

Mother advised
my younger brother
not to mix up with
bad
company. change the narration​

Answer 1

Answer:

The given sentence is a request.

In an imperative sentence, the verb of the reported speech takes 'to' i.e. to go, to do, etc. In the negative sentence the infinitive (to+ verb) is preceded by 'not'.

Infinitive always takes the basic form of the verb preceded by to. So, 'mark' will change into 'to mark'. The second person pronoun 'you' will change into the person of the speaker.

In an imperative sentence the reporting verb is changed into request, beg, order, advise, instruct, forbid.

Thus, in indirect speech, the sentence must be,

The student respectfully requested the teacher to mark him present.

Thus option B is the correct answer.

Options A,C,D are incorrect as they do not follow the rules of Narration and Reporting.
