Select the most appropriate direct form of the given sentence.
The grandmother asked Avika not to play such loud music as that was disturbing her sleep.

Correct option is D

The correct direct speech is (d) The grandmother said to Avika, “Don’t play such loud music as it is disturbing my sleep.”
Explanation:
· In direct speech, reporting verb (asked) changes to said to and the negative infinitive “not to play” becomes the imperative “Don’t play”.
· The pronoun ‘her’ changes to ‘my’ because the grandmother is speaking.
· The pronoun ‘that’ changes to ‘it’, matching the context.
· Rule:
· Indirect → Direct:
· Asked + not to → said to + “don’t + base verb”
· Pronouns and tenses are adjusted to reflect the speaker’s viewpoint.
· Example:
· Indirect: He asked me not to shout. → Direct: He said to me, “Don’t shout.”
