Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.

I prayed that his mother might recover soon.​​​​​​

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. I said, “May your mother recover soon!”

Given sentence: I prayed that his mother might recover soon.

Comma and inverted commas are added and remove the conjunction 'that'.

'prayer' is changed to 'said.'

As the sentence is the past tense, so, 'might' changes to 'may'.

Personal pronouns are changed accordingly. So, 'his' is changed to 'your.'

So, the final sentence is:

I said, “May your mother recover soon!”
