Select the option which best expresses the following sentence in the Direct Speech.

She asked her daughter if she wanted ice-cream.

She said to her daughter, "Do you want ice-cream?"

The best option to express the sentence "She asked her daughter if she wanted ice-cream" in Direct Speech is: She said to her daughter, "Do you want ice-cream?"

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

• "Did she want ice-cream?": This changes the subject of the question from the daughter to her, making it unclear who the mother is asking about.
• "Did she wanted ice-cream?": This uses the past tense of "want," which wouldn't be used in a present-day question about someone's current desire for ice cream.
• "Does she want ice-cream?": This implies the mother is asking about someone else's daughter, not her own.

Therefore, "She said to her daughter, 'Do you want ice-cream?'" accurately captures the original sentence's meaning and phrasing in Direct Speech.
