Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer: The teacher reminded the students, "Submit your assignments by Friday."
Explanation
• In indirect speech, imperative sentences (orders, instructions, reminders) use the reporting verb followed by to + base form of the verb (infinitive).
• When converting from indirect to direct speech:
• The infinitive phrase to submit turns into the base verb Submit, forming an imperative sentence within quotation marks.
• The third-person possessive pronoun their shifts to the second-person possessive pronoun your as the teacher addresses the students directly.
