The lawyer said to the client to speak the truth.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The lawyer requested the client to speak the truth.

In the above sentence, we have been provided a sentence that is in direct speech. It has been changed to indirect speech in the solution that has been provided.

Certain points should be kept in mind while making these conversions. They are as follows-

• All quotations should be completely removed.
• The tone of speech must be understood and the proper verb should be used. For example, a teacher while talking to the whole class generally announces something.
• There should be a change in the tense. The message should be in past tense or forms of past tense.
• The intended meaning of the sentence should not be changed.
