Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. I said to my brother, “ Let us go to the hills for a change.”

The direct form "I said to my brother, 'Let us go to the hills for a change.'" is accurate because it reflects the suggestion made in a conversational tone.

In direct speech, "Let us" is used instead of "we should" to mirror how the suggestion would be phrased in natural dialogue.

The direct speech format captures the essence of the original suggestion, presenting it as a personal and direct proposal to the brother.
