Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The teacher advised her students to work hard for their exams.
Given sentence: The teacher said, “You must work hard for your exams.”
In indirect speech, we need to remove commas and inverted commas, and the conjunction 'that' is added.
Second-person pronouns are changed according to the object of the reporting verb. So, 'you' is changed to 'her', and 'your' is changed to 'their.'
So, the final sentence is:
The teacher advised her students to work hard for their exams.
