Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech.
The doctor advised me to take bed rest and eat nutritious food.

Correct option is D

The correct direct speech form of the given sentence is (d) "The doctor said to me, 'Take bed rest and eat nutritious food.'"
· In indirect speech, imperative sentences are usually introduced with verbs like advised, suggested, or ordered, and the reporting verb "to advise" is changed to "said to" while retaining the command in its original form.
· The correct transformation retains the command form ("Take bed rest and eat nutritious food") without changing the meaning.
· Option (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect because:
· (a) Changes the meaning by adding "should," which is not part of the original imperative sentence.
· (b) and (c) Use incorrect pronouns that do not match the subject in reported speech.
Example:
Indirect: The teacher advised me to study hard.
Direct: The teacher said to me, "Study hard."
