Correct option is C
The correct direct speech is (c)
Rina said to Suman, "Leave the city immediately."
Rules & Explanation:
· Indirect imperative “told + object + to + V1” converts to direct imperative with base verb inside quotes.
· Reporting verb
told becomes
said to in direct.
· The command word is the bare infinitive
Leave; “immediately” remains unchanged.
· No
now is needed, and adding
please would change the tone to a request (which the original “told” does not imply).
·
Example: Indirect:
He told me to sit down. → Direct:
He said to me, “Sit down.”
·
Notes: For requests,
requested/asked ↔ “Please + V1”. For prohibitions,
told … not to + V1 ↔ “Don’t + V1”.
