Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. The surgeon says, “You should get anaesthesia for the surgery.”
The following rules will be followed to convert the given sentence into its direct form:
- To convert the sentence into the direct form, we need to remove the reporting verb "says that" and replace it with a reporting verb in the past tense.
- That should be replaced with a comma and an inverted comma.
- Then we need to move the subject "I" to the beginning of the sentence and replace it with a third person pronoun 'you'.
- The verb "should get" to its corresponding form "should get" should remain unchanged.
The direct form of the given sentence would be:
The surgeon says, “You should get anaesthesia for the surgery.”
