Answer 1

My friend urged me to apply for the job.

EXPLANATION

• We are required to change the tone of the sentence to indirect speech by using the word 'urge' in the given sentence.
• We know that direct speech is reporting the contents of the speech as it is. Whereas indirect speech is reporting the contents of speech of someone else's utterance without actually saying it.
• Rules to change direct speech into indirect speech are as follows;

1. All inverted commas are removed.
2. The indirect speech always ends in a full stop.
3. Reporting verb such as urged, told, requested, enquired are used.

• The verb urged means 'to present', or to demand earnestly or pressingly.

• When we use 'urged' in place of 'told' the tone of the sentence is changed to demanding.
