Answer 2

Answer:

The doctor advised the patient to take light food.

Explanation:

*The given question is direct speech,imperative sentence.

*In the reporting speech,"said to" is changed into "advised".

*In the reported speech,comma and quotation are removed and the imperative connective linker "to" is included.

*So the answer is,
