Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech.

The students asked the teacher where they could find the information for their project.

The students asked the teacher, “Where can we find the information for our project?”

The correct option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech is: OPTION 2

"The students asked the teacher, 'Where can we find the information for our project?'"

Explanation:

In the original sentence, the students are asking the teacher about the location of information for their project.

• The direct speech option correctly represents the question asked by the students, using "we" to refer to themselves and "our project" to specify the context.
• The option maintains the subject-object relationship between the students and the information they seek, with the students directly addressing the teacher to obtain the information.

The other options are incorrect:

• The students said to the teacher, "Where can you find the information for our project?" This is incorrect because the students are asking the teacher a question, not telling the teacher something.
• The teacher said to the students, "Where you can find the information for your project." This is incorrect because the teacher is not asking the students a question.
• The teacher said to the students, "I will tell you where you can find the information for your project." This is incorrect because the teacher is not asking the students a question, but rather telling them something.
