Select the most appropriate direct form of the given sentence.
Her mother advised her not to go too fast while reciting her poem.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. Her mother said, “Don’t go too fast while reciting your poem.”

  • This option is correct because it converts the tense-form to it's corresponding present tense by using "don't go". As per the rules of narration, it is necessary for us to convert the action/verb that is in it's past form in the indirect speech to it's corresponding present form in it's direct speech. The rest of the given options fail to portray the accurate tense form and hence alters it's meaning from that of the given statement in the question.
