Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech. "The boss said to the secretary, 'Don’t forget to order A3 size paper.'”

Correct option is A

Explanation of the Correct Answer: · The direct sentence "Don’t forget" is a negative imperative.
· In indirect speech, imperative sentences change to "instructed" or "told not to."
· "Don’t forget" → "not to forget" in reported speech.
· The correct sentence: "The boss instructed the secretary not to forget to order A3 size paper."
Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (b) "She didn’t forget" → Incorrect; changes meaning.
· (c) "Asked the secretary to order" → Incorrect; does not include "don’t forget."
· (d) "She should not forget" → Incorrect; changes imperative structure.
Thus, the correct answer is (a) The boss instructed the secretary not to forget to order A3 size paper.
