Out of the given alternatives given choose the most appropriate option.
My father __________ me to go to university.

Correct option is B

The correct option to fill in the blank is (b) told. • Explanation: – The sentence structure “My father _____ me to go” contains a direct object (me), so we need a verb that takes a direct object. – “Told” is used with a personal object and is followed by “to + verb” in indirect speech. • Grammatical rule used: – In indirect/reported speech, we use “tell + person + to + base verb” when conveying an instruction, advice, or command. – “Say” is used without a direct object or followed by “to + person”. • Explanation in Hindi: – जब वाक्य में “me” जैसा object हो, तो “said” की जगह “told” का प्रयोग करते हैं और इसके बाद “to + V1” आता है। • Example: – She told me to study harder for the exams. ✅ Meanings of the other options: • (a) said ❌ – English: Used for statements, not followed directly by object + infinitive. – Hindi: कहा • (c) made ❌ – English: Causative verb, implies compulsion or force, not suggestion. – Hindi: मजबूर किया • (d) suggested ❌ – English: Used to give an idea, often followed by “that” clause or “verb + ing”. – Hindi: सुझाव दिया
