    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.
