Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct indirect form of the sentence is: OPTION 1
"Shakila told the waiter to bring her a cup of coffee."
Explanation:
- In the original sentence, the reporting verb is "said."
- When converting the sentence into indirect speech, the reporting verb "said" changes to "told."
- The pronouns shift accordingly, so "me" becomes "her."
- The verb "bring" remains in the same tense.
- The correct option accurately represents Shakila's request in indirect speech, maintaining the integrity of the original sentence.
