Question:

Change the following sentence into Indirect Speech :

Options:

I advised my brother not to tell a lie.

I asked my brother to not lie.

I inspired my brother to tell the truth.

I informed my brother to never tell a lie.

Correct Answer:

I advised my brother not to tell a lie.

Explanation:

The correct transformation of the sentence into Indirect Speech is:OPTION 1 I advised my brother not to tell a lie.

In the given sentence, the original direct speech is: "Don't tell a lie." In indirect speech, the reporting verb changes from "said" to "advised," and the imperative sentence is transformed into a reporting clause with the infinitive "to" structure. Therefore, the correct transformation is: "I advised my brother not to tell a lie."
