Mother told me that I should listen to her first and then do anything as I pleased.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Mother said to me, "You should listen to me first and then do anything as you please."

  1. As the given statement is in "Indirect speech" we need to change it into "direct speech".
  2. We need to follow some rules for this.
  3. "told" will be changed into, "said".
  4. "that" will be changed into "inverted comma".
  5. "I" should be changed into "you".
  6. "pleased" will be changed into "please".

As the only chosen option follows these rules it will be correct. Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
