SSC CGL 2019 PYQ — Question 135

SSC CGL Tier II - English 13th Sep. 19 • English • Q135

Choose the most appropriate option to change the narration (direct/indirect) of the given sentence.
“Don’t use your mobile while crossing the road,” I said to him.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. I advised him not to use his mobile while crossing the road.

As we have to change direct narration into indirect narration we have to follow certain rules.

We have to change the tense of the reported speech into the past tense.

If the reported speech starts with DON'T we need to change said into Advised/Forbade.

As the only chosen option has the "Advised" written in it, it will be correct.
