      Solution

      In order to change an imperative sentence into the indirect speech, we use a to-infinitive Also, instead of ‘said’ we use one of the following reporting verbs- Advise, command, request, suggest, threaten, order, forbid, decree, propose, entreat, prompt, counsel, pardon, beg, persuade, instruct etc. (depending on the circumstances) Thus, the correct answer here is- My brother advised me not to waste my time.
