Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.

The surgeon says that I should get anaesthesia for the surgery.

The surgeon says, "You should get anaesthesia for the surgery."

The correct direct form of the given sentence is:

The surgeon says, "You should get anaesthesia for the surgery."

This is because direct speech is the exact words that someone spoke. In the direct form, the subject and tense of the verb do not change.

The other options are incorrect because they change the direct form of the sentence in some way:

• The surgeon says, "I should get anaesthesia for the surgery." - This sentence changes the subject of the sentence from "you" to "I."
• The surgeon said, "You should get anaesthesia for the surgery." - This sentence changes the present tense to the past tense.
• The surgeon says, "You could get anaesthesia for the surgery." - This sentence changes the modal verb "should" to "could," which is less assertive.
