Question

Select the correct direct narration of the given sentence.
The manager told him that she would ask him to leave the meeting if he continued to make negative remarks.

A.

The manager told him, “You will ask me to leave the meeting if you continue to make negative remarks.”

B.

The manager said to him, “I will ask you to leave the meeting if you continue to make negative remarks.”

C.

The manager told him, “I will leave the meeting if you continue to make negative remarks.”

D.

The manager asked him, “Will you leave the meeting if you continue to make negative remarks?”

Correct option is B

The correct direct speech is (b) The manager said to him, “I will ask you to leave the meeting if you continue to make negative remarks.”
Direct speech refers to the exact words spoken by a person, written within quotation marks. It reproduces the speaker’s original words as they were spoken.
Indirect speech (or reported speech) refers to reporting what someone said without quoting them exactly. The words are often paraphrased and adjusted to fit grammatical structure, especially in tense, pronouns, time expressions, etc.
Explanation:
In indirect speech:
· “She would ask him…” = direct: “I will ask you…”
· “if he continued…” = direct: “if you continue…”
Pronouns and tenses are correctly converted in this option.
Rules of Conversion:
· Would becomes will
· He becomes you
· Reporting verb “told” or “said to” remains depending on sentence type
Example:
· Indirect: He said he would call me.
· Direct: He said, “I will call you.”
