Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
The guard said to the visitors, "Do not take photographs inside the museum."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The guard forbade the visitors to take photographs inside the museum.
- As the reported speech is in "Imperative sentence" we need to make changes according to this.
- There will be a change in the reporting verb and it will be changed into "Forbade".
- "To + v1" will be used at the place of the "Inverted comma".
- "Forbade" is a negative word hence, we don't need to use negative adverb twice in the given statement.
As all the rules are followed by the chosen option it will be correct.
