      Change the given sentence into direct/indirect speech-

      The teacher said, “Sit down, boys.”
      A The teacher requested the boys to be seated. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B The teacher ordered the boys to sit down. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C The teacher ordered the boys to be seated. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The teacher advised the boys to sit down. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      In order to change an imperative sentence into the indirect speech, we use a to-infinitive. A –that clause is also possible in some cases. In case of ‘order’, we use ‘ ordered’ instead of ‘said’. Thus, the correct answer is- The teacher ordered the boys to sit down.
