Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

"Stop!" shouted the Commander to his men.

The Commander shouted at his men to stop.

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

The Commander shouted at his men to stop.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

• The Commander asked them to stop. The verb "asked" is too polite for reporting an order. The more appropriate verb is "shouted".
• The men were asked to stop by the Commander. This is a passive sentence. In indirect speech, it is more common to use an active sentence.
• The Commander ask if men would stop. The reporting verb "ask" is in the present tense, but the reported clause is in the past tense. Additionally, the modal verb "would" is not necessary in this context.
