Select the most appropriate option in direct speech.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The principal said to me, “You are in-charge of the admission cell.”
"The principal said to me" correctly introduces the dialogue, maintaining the original speaker and listener.
The direct speech itself is accurately quoted with correct punctuation and capitalization: "You are in-charge of the admission cell.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
"The principal say me" uses the wrong tense ("say" instead of "said").
"The principal said to I" uses the incorrect pronoun ("I" instead of "me").
"The principal said me, You are in-charge of the admission cell" lacks quotation marks and correct punctuation.
